Most games of this type have at least a ‘good’ and ‘bad’ ending, but nowadays they often feature multiple endings that aren’t simply good or bad.

This timeline appeared to be confirmed when the European game rating system, PEGI, listed Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced, aligning with Ubisoft’s plans for an unannounced release in that period.

Originally born from a popular fan server within Minecraft called Hypixel, the development of Hytale faced several challenges. In 2025, Riot Games shut down Hytale‘s development and closed Hypixel Studios.

He succeeded, and Hypixel Studios was reborn as an independent studio. As a result, Hytale launched in early access on January 13th as a standalone game for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
