Early updates for major issues will come "quickly and frequently"

Hytale has finally entered early access, and that means it's already time to start looking ahead to what's next. The developers say the Hytale roadmap hasn't yet been set in stone, as they want to get feedback from fans about what their areas of focus should be, but certain key features are already in the early stages of development.

In a new blog post accompanying today's launch, Hypixel says early updates will come "quickly and frequently" because there's "still a large backlog of obvious construction sites we need to tackle." The devs have spent months warning that Hytale will be in a rough state as early access begins, and it seems smoothing out those edges will be the first priority before larger updates enter development.
