Hytale Chapter 1 is the first chapter-sized early-access update for Hytale and arrives on October 12, 2026. Hypixel Studios focuses the pack on goblins, the first handcrafted dungeon and the first multi-phase boss: the Gobliterator.
What Hytale Chapter 1 adds
After months of smaller patches, Hytale Chapter 1 opens at the Forgotten Temple. Underground, a hand-authored dungeon uses the Encounter Manager and ends in a raid-style fight against the flamethrower Gobliterator.
Goblins are not only enemies. Elites such as the Feastmaster call reinforcements. Friendly goblins exist too, including a shopkeeper. Rocket boots, hookshot, glider, mining drill and spyglass ship in the update.
Goblin Breach and runes
The Goblin Breach world event can open a temporary portal to an unstable fragment of Orbis. An early rune-based ability system also arrives with Hytale Chapter 1.
The $15,000 challenge
Simon Collins-Laflamme offered $15,000 to the first streamer who kills the Gobliterator on hard, no armor, no potions, no exploits, hardcore, iron weapons only, with a public VOD.
