Palworld marks first anniversary by revealing future updates, including a final boss and ending
Co-op crossplay, world transfers for Pals, and more is coming to Palworld
Pocketpair has marked the one-year anniversary of Palworld by detailing its future roadmap for updates.
According to the developer, it will continue to update the Early Access version of the game with features such as co-op crossplay, a final boss and ending scenario, world transfers for Pals, and more.
There are no specific timeframes for the updates, but Pocketpair says it’s currently working on the following:
- CO-OP Crossplay
- World Transfers for Pals
- Final Boss / Ending Scenario
- Further ways to strengthen and improve Pals
- Various new content such as new Pals and technologies
- Game Collaborations (Including Terraria)
- Improvements to world object placement
- Improvements to base Pals
- Improvements to optimization
- Improvements to UX
As part of Palworld’s one-year anniversary celebrations, the game’s developer is also holding a Pal popularity poll. 180 Pals have appeared so far, and Pocketpair invites fans to vote for their favorite.
Released in January 2024 via Steam Early Access and Xbox Game Preview, the monster-catching survival game was an immediate hit, attracting 25 million players in just its first month, according to Pocketpair.
The game was later launched on PlayStation 5 in September. However, it faces a legal challenge from Nintendo and The Pokémon Company in Japan, who allege that Palworld “infringes multiple patent rights”.
The issue stems from three patents that are related to gameplay, all of which were initially filed by Nintendo and The Pokemon Company between February and July last year.
