Roadmap summary

Unknown Worlds published the first Early Access roadmap on May 15, 2026. The studio says updates will range from focused improvements and hotfixes to larger expansions. The first update is aimed at quality-of-life fixes. The second update is aimed at requested co-op improvements and additions. A later larger drop is planned to expand the world, biomes, creatures, resources, tools, vehicles and story.

This makes update tracking central to the site. Any map, resource or fragment page should have a checked date and a patch watch note.
