Habbo Hotel goes vintage with re-release of the original game

The Habbo Hotel community – yes, there is still a community – is celebrating the announcement of Habbo Hotel Origina re-release of the original game as it was in 2005. Habbo Hotel Origin goes live on Tuesday; developer Sulake spent six months restoring the game after finding “an old derelict server with some long-lost files.”

Habbo Hotel has been around since 2000 (with a lot of ups and downs) and people have been playing it ever since. It experienced a particularly large revival in 2020 during the pandemic. With all the adjustments and adjustments of the past 20 years, the modern version of Habbo Hotel looks very different from the nostalgia of your childhood. Habbo Hotel Origin is intended to solve that. “The simplicity, charm and magic of that early version of Habbo are things we want to preserve and protect, so we plan to be careful about what we add, and when,” Sulake wrote on the Habbo Hotel Origin website.

Sulake wrote that Habbo Hotel Origin will be “community led”; the InfoBus Park is now a “democratic forum” where players can vote on changes to the game.

The Habbo Hotel Origin Reddit page is awash in celebration: The old times are back! However, there are some caveats: Habbo Hotel Origin does not support casinos or any form of gambling, despite the game being intended for people aged 18 or over. Habbo Hotel Origin won’t have NFTs either, unlike Habbo Hotel.

Sulake plans to keep Habbo Hotel Origin alive as long as the game sustains itself.
