Sandbox game Hytale was only surviving until now, bruised badly by cancellation and studio closure before it recently got back in the warm hands of its creators at Hypixel. According to CEO Simon Collins-Laflamme, even this new chapter of existence has sometimes been difficult for Hytale – but things seem to finally be happier after a successful round of playtests this week.

While, not long ago, Collins-Laflamme said "the game is not good enough" to release in Early Access yet, he seems to be in better spirits about the Minecraft-like now. He says in a November 25 post on Twitter, "Over 60 people play-tested Hytale yesterday and gave us great feedback and bug reports! Things are doing well!"
