Everything has a start and an end.
Will Hytale bring Minecraft down? Maybe.
Hytale has a lot to offer from just looking at the blogs and the trailer.
Quests, bosses, animations, easy modding, servers, mini-games and a lot more.
If Hypixel does this right it could potentially remove Minecraft from the playing field. Lets face it, Minecraft hasn't been doing well ever since Microsoft took ownership. Now that Fortnite has come out its doing even worse with all the younger audiences going to a better free option.
I doubt that Hytale will do as good as Fortnite but from looking at videos, reviews and overall comments on Hytale I can see a big community is behind the game.
Studying Games Development myself, I'm starting to understand what research must be done before releasing a game.
I'm sure that Hypixel is looking at how well other games are doing and what is the best way to release their game.
I think that Hytale could be the Minecraft we wanted, the Minecraft we deserved.
I hope my opinion helped you and gave you something to think about!
