Why is Hytale actually getting delayed?

The Hytale team has been silent for the past few months but on 1st July they announced a few major changes. The most important of which is that the game will not be released in 2021.

The dev team still needs more time to polish the world of Orbis and expand the game on consoles and other platforms. It would be very interesting to see if players on different devices will be able to play along on the same servers. If this idea is implemented, this could expand the Hytale community to an unimaginable level. Imagine how fun it could be if you could join Hypixel from your phone or Playstation.

If the Hytale team wants to reach more players, it is necessary to have a working integration for the most popular platforms. A lot of people are more comfortable playing on consoles than on PC and when a good game for PC comes out they are usually not interested because it is not compatible with their preferred platform.

If reaching more players means more income and polishing the game means less disappointment then this justifies the delay. Finance plays a big role when making business decisions. A company can’t sustain itself and expand the quality of its services with no annual revenue. Releasing an unfinished product can lead people into losing their trust in the company and ultimately cause its downfall.

In the business world it is preferable to postpone the release of a product than to deliver something that does not meet the expectations of the public. Taking the risk of disappointing customers is usually greater than the risk of making them anxious because of a new delay.

Expanding the game on different platforms can help Hytale and Hypixel Studios grow significantly. Nevertheless, the decision to postpone the game has caused frustration in the community. A lot of players lost interest in the game because of the delays but if the team has taken the risk of making people wait, the best we can do is hope that it will turn into an opportunity for further growth in the long run.

In the end, patience is a virtue. A rushed game will disappoint the community forever (after all we do not want a new Cyberpunk 2077). A carefully planned, developed and tested game has the potential of becoming a masterpiece and this is exactly what everybody expects.
