Habbo Hotel Origins takes the game back to 2005

Habbo Hotel Origins: as it was in 2005

The Habbo Hotel community – yes, there is still a community – is celebrating the announcement of Habbo Hotel Origins, a re-release of the original game as it was in 2005. Habbo Hotel Origins airs on Tuesday; Developer Sulake has been restoring the game for six months after it found "an old decrepit server with some long-lost files."

Habbo Hotel has been around (with lots of ups and downs) since 2000, and people have been playing it ever since. It had a particularly big resurgence in 2020 during the pandemic. With all the tweaks and tweaks over the last 20 years, the modern version of Habbo Hotel looks very different from your childhood nostalgia. Habbo Hotel Origins is supposed to fix that. "The simplicity, charm and magic of the early version of Habbo are things we want to keep and protect, so we intend to be careful about what we add and when," Sulake wrote on the Habbo Hotel Origins website.

Sulake wrote that Habbo Hotel Origins will be "community-led." InfoBus Park is now a "democratic forum" where players can vote on changes to the game.
