Recently, the developers of Hytale were able to acquire the rights to the game and intend to continue working on the project.
Now Hypixel Studios has introduced several editions: the basic version costs $20 (~1.6 thousand rubles), but there are also extended editions for Supporter Edition at $35 (2.7 thousand rubles) and Cursebreaker Founders Pack at $70 (5.5 thousand rubles).
The game's authors clarified that this is a way to further support their work, and the editions will include cosmetic items, such as hats and cloaks.
Hypixel Studios founder Simon Collins-Laflamme said that he insisted on the lowest possible price:
I am pricing Hytale as low as I possibly can. I am taking on significant personal risk after I bought the game back and started preparing it for early access with a growing team of 50 talented specialists. I said I was going all in and I am delivering on that promise.
He warned that the current version may have problems:
The game is not finished and is running on a build that is more than four years old. Charging a higher price felt wrong. I don't think the game is up to "good" yet. My team and I will work hard to make it really good and then great. The vision is clear and progress is rapid. I want as many players as possible to join the project. It's a tough time for many of you due to the economic situation and I want everyone to have a fair chance to be part of what comes next.
