Will Hytale have different open ended areas(like metro exodus) where we can do whatever we like or will it have be completely open world (like minecraft) with infinite world generation? I'm sorry if this is a dumb question but I really want to know.
A story driven “core” sourrounded by an ocean after which fully random infinite worldgeneration takes place. The “core” is where you start out and where you progress through the story the developers created in sort of pregenerated places (seems still randomized, a little unclear so far). The infinite lands beyond the ocean will then be like minecraft. Pretty much endless random terrain and places with no real story behind it. As its understood so far, you could just run out of the core, cross the ocean and arrive in the infinite lands without ever playing the story. If that would be bad because you miss out on tutorial style quests and such is still to be seen.
