《Hytale》的第二輪發售後更新即將到來。這款歷經波折、受《Minecraft》啟發的角色扮演遊戲終於開啟搶先體驗，開發商Hypixel正緊鑼密鼓地進行修復、調整與內容擴充。本次更新將賦予玩家召喚骷髏軍團的能力，同時為模組製作者提供更便捷的工具。
《Hytale》項目總監兼Hypixel創始人西蒙·柯林斯-拉弗拉姆在推特公布了更新說明。玩法部分的首條要點寫道：「全新魔法!亡靈法術書!由骷髏禁衛軍掉落，可讓你從骨堆中召喚最多五名骷髏僕從。」這無疑是本次最值得關注的資訊。

Please help us test and report bugs (in-game or reply here if you find something major)! If all goes well, we will update everyone on Friday or Saturday! Update 3 is already in the works, and we are planning a longer pre-release period to give modders and servers time to catch up and update. As more and more modders and servers create content, we want to make our updates more predictable to maintain stability across the ecosystem.
召喚出的骷髏士兵可持續五分鐘，或在玩家陣亡時消失。那些體型龐大的敵人恐怕要面臨新的恐懼了。針對MOD功能，官方將發布WorldGen V2的公開文檔，並大幅提升各區域(尤其是荒蕪之地地下部分)的礦石生成量。
為緩解玩家「全面恐慌」的情緒，柯林斯-拉弗拉姆特別說明法術書只是「隨機掉落的趣味物品」，並非完整的魔法系統配置。「未來我們將構建正式的法力值與法術體系，」他在後續推文中補充道，「目前設計的法杖、圖騰與法術書均屬過渡性產物，後期會整合至正式系統中，現階段大家可盡情體驗、修改MOD等。」
從外觀裝飾、農業系統、用戶界面到這款方塊冒險遊戲的幾乎所有層面，本次更新都進行了細緻優化。這份詳盡的變更清單清晰表明，Hypixel正致力於讓《Hytale》不負玩家十餘年的期待。本次更新計劃於本周末上線，第三次更新預計將在不久後跟進。
