A set of 14 minigames for friends is also coming in the same window. This is the first major content reveal since early access began in January, after months of foundation work.

Since Hytale entered early access in January, weekly updates have focused on stabilizing the game after a rebuild from a four-year-old version. On July 16, game director Simon published the largest development blog in the game's history, with over 20 videos and 40 images. The blog unveiled Chapter 1, which adds the first handcrafted dungeon, a multi-phase boss battle, and a major goblin faction update including the 'Goblin Breach' world event. New items like rocket boots, a glider, and a mining drill, along with a rune ability system, are also part of the update. Separately, 14 minigames for party play are planned, with code and assets to be made public. A smaller Update 6, bringing spectator mode, a mod browser, and new physics, is expected in two to three weeks.
