2nd Half of the Year:
Another Event
Shooting Range - Can go in solo or invite friends for practice PvP/messing around (likely doubles as a test for a full custom server bounty hunt)
Reporting System Transparency being looked into.
Engine Upgrade - Will start being done in 2023, paves the way for Gen 9 version for nextgen consoles (will improve graphics and include DLSS, HDR, SFR 2.1, and Direct Storage). More Details Later, plan for Hunt Franchise to last years.
