Riot Games Buys Hypixel Studios

Los Angeles-based Riot Games, which publishes League of Legends, said on Thursday that it has acquired Hypixel Studios, the developer of Hytale, a block-based game which combines a Minecraft-like environment with roleplaying elements. Financial terms of the acquisition were not announced. Hypixel Studios is based in Derry-Londonderry, North Ireland. Hypixel Studios was founded in 2018, and was angel backed, including investors from Riot Games. Hypixel Studios is still working on Hytale, and has said it plans to launch the title in 2021.
