Overview
- The headline feature is an experimental necromancy grimoire that can drop from large Praetorian Skeletons and lets players raise skeletal minions from nearby bone piles.
- Hytale lead Simon Collins-Laflamme says necromancy is separate from the planned magic system and notes summoned minions may be a bit janky by design.
- Avatar customization expands with new masks and hairstyles plus a toggle to show or hide helmets and headpieces, with added armor visibility controls for servers.
- The patch folds in wide-ranging tweaks, including a polar bear buff and restored missing dinosaur sounds, alongside interface and quality-of-life improvements.
- Developers say production is ramping up across several parallel updates, with Update 3 entering the launcher’s pre-release channel next week on a longer testing window.
