# Mixed Reality Toolkit (MRTK) Roadmap
20
20
21
21
The Mixed Reality Toolkit (also known as "vNext") is an all-new product, built to be cross MR/AR/VR/XR platform by design. There are two planned pre-releases after which the Mixed Reality Toolkit will become the primary product.

The Mixed Reality Toolkit will require Unity 2018 or newer.

The Mixed Reality Toolkit will require Unity 2018.3.

25
> When Unity releases an LTS (Long Term Support) product, the Mixed Reality Toolkit will branch (ex: mrtk_2018_LTS) and require an LTS release. This branch will be targeted at developers who wish to have the most stable MRTK on which to build. It is expected that the branched Mixed Reality Toolkit will receive bug fixes and no new features. The mrtk_development branch will update to the next Unity Tech release (ex: 2019.1) and **may** drop backward compatibility.

## New Architecture
28
28
29
29
The MRTK is being rewritten to be cross AR/VR/MR/XR platform and to be more modular. The core layer will contain the interfaces and definitions required to build manager components (ex: input manager) as well as the abstractions needed to support multiple platforms. The SDK layer is where pre-built / reusable components will be delivered. The SDK will be further modularized to make it simple to opt-in to specific functionality (ex: UX controls).

The Mixed Reality Toolkit (MRTK) Alpha, released in late July 2018 is being released as a single package (core, sdk and examples) as the team introduces the new architecture. This release does **not** contain all of the features and functionality of the HoloToolkit releases.
