Five months after cancelling the development of Hytale and closing the studio working on it, Riot Games has sold the whole thing back to original co-founder Simon Collins-Laflamme. And yes, that means work on the game has resumed: Collins-Laflamme said more than 30 former developers "who know this game inside and out" have been brought back to continue development, and more are expected to follow soon.

"We are thrilled to announce that we have acquired Hytale from Riot Games," Collins-Laflamme wrote in a new update on the Hytale website.

After protracted development at Hypixel, a sale to Riot Games, many quiet years, and an abrupt cancellation and studio closure earlier this year, Hytale is, somehow, back. Riot has sold the Minecraft-inspired survival game back to Hypixel founder Simon Collins-Laflamme, who plans to release it in early access "as soon as possible."

Collins-Laflamme broke the news on Twitter on Monday. "We did it. Hytale is saved. We have acquired Hytale from Riot Games," he writes.

"This game has always been close to my heart, and I’m excited to bring it back home," he adds.
