Check out the future plans for the software development from Unity Technologies.
Unity always sticks to the idea of enhancing existing workflow within the tool, bring more useful features, and add more components that will speed up and simplify artists' workflow. The released 2021 roadmap is built on the Unity 2020 LTS and focuses on the following areas:
- Rendering Pipelines
The Unity team will work on the URP solution and stabilize the HDRP. These steps will bring the team closer to achieving the goal with pipelines: to offer full interoperability of all Unity features
- Visual Scripting
In 2021, Unity users will be able to use Bolt visual scripting built-in directly Into the software. This feature will add more consistency to the node-based workflow.
- Multiplayer Networking
Next year, Unity will be empowered by a stable and supported net code foundation. The new foundation will help shift the focus beyond DOTS to solve current-Unity GameObjects.
The team will also release Unity 2020 LTS in Q1 2021 and Unity 2021 Product Release Cycle in March-October 2021.
