With Hytale’s Early Access (EA) on the horizon, players are eager to know precisely what gameplay will be available. While the full game will eventually feature a deep story and competitive minigames, the EA launch is focused on providing a platform for creativity and exploration.
Here is a breakdown of the game modes you can expect to see during the Early Access period.
Creative Mode: More Than Just "Invincibility"
In Hytale, Creative Mode isn't just about turning off player damage; it’s a full-scale creative suite. Hypixel Studios is providing players with robust toolsets to build new and exciting worlds. These include:
World-Building Tools: Access to scripted brushes, shape brushes, selection tools, and a ruler/laser pointer for precision.
Asset Management: A full NPC browser, prefab editor, and a player model changer.
Editing Utilities: A powerful paste tool and "Machina" tools to help bring your creations to life.
Adventure & Exploration Mode
The core Hytale experience is Adventure Mode, a sandbox RPG where you can explore unique, procedurally generated worlds filled with ruins, landmarks, and random events. You can choose your own path—whether you want to be a settler building a homestead, a master craftsperson, or a bold adventurer.
Note for Early Access: The full story mode will not be available immediately at the EA launch. Instead, players will have access to a temporary Exploration Mode. This version will allow you to encounter unique zone-specific foes and survive the wilderness by farming and crafting while the team continues to build out the RPG narrative and complete feature set.
Minigames
While Hytale is building tooling for competitive minigames, these will not be available at the initial Early Access launch.
The developers are currently building powerful tooling for minigame creators and designing a central hub called The Capital. Eventually, this social world will serve as the jumping-off point for players to queue for competitive matches.
