LogInHypixel Studios is now a part of Riot Games.
Hypixel Studios is currently working on Hytale, a community-powered block game that is said to mix the scope of a creative sandbox and the depth of a roleplaying game. The project got over 2.5 million sign-ups for its beta and millions of views on YouTube for its trailer.
“We’ve known the team behind Hypixel Studios for several years, and from the start they’ve been the kind of visionaries that we aspire to support; a passionate studio committed to delivering a groundbreaking, genre-defining experience for players,” said Dylan Jadeja, President of Riot Games. “Over the last 18 months, we’ve been fortunate to advise Hypixel Studios as they build toward their vision for evolving a game genre that reaches an incredibly diverse range of players around the globe."
The team can now use Riot Games’ experience in developing and publishing acclaimed, player-focused games.
“We’ve been blown away by players’ response to Hytale, and Riot is the right partner to help us deliver a game that can live up to players’ expectations,” said Aaron ‘Noxy’ Donaghey, the newly appointed CEO of Hypixel Studios. “Since our first meetings with Riot leadership long before their initial investment, we’ve found in Riot a partner with a similar commitment to empowering players."
The announcement noted that Hypixel Studios will retain its current structure and establish a permanent office in Londonderry, Northern Ireland.
