A monster-collecting adventure game

Palworld is a premium action game made by developer Pocketpair. In this multiplayer open-world adventure game, you can explore a vast land filled with creatures called Pals. As a player, you will be called a Pal tamer. You can tame, sell, and have them aid in battles, among other things—the choice is yours.

Similar to Monster Hunter Rise, Palworld greatly emphasizes combat and exploration. Aside from its survival crafting gameplay elements, the game also lets you build all types of structures, engage in farming, and even breed a variety of creatures and form new species.

Welcome to Palworld

Palworld is a monster-collecting game with some survival mechanics and life simulation gameplay. Its vast open land is home to creatures called Pal, which you can manage and use for various purposes. You can train them to aid you in your adventures and battles. You can also use them for commerce, such as trading them, using them for manual labor, or selling them as meat.

The diverse creatures here can aid you in your travels—through land, air, and sea. They lend themselves well to providing a sense of verticality and freedom of movement. The Pals' unique traits and abilities will also be helpful if you plan on dungeon-crawling. You can even use them for manual labor to build a house, ship, or even a factory to serve as a source of income.

Multiplayer excitement and visual immersion

Palworld offers robust multiplayer support, enabling you to embark on thrilling adventures alongside your friends. A maximum of four players can join and play together within the online co-op game mode. Delve into exciting quests together, sharing the joy of exploration and accomplishment. Additionally, you can engage in exhilarating battles and item trading with other players, fostering a vibrant and dynamic in-game community

The 3D graphics in this game provide a visually immersive experience, enhancing realism and elevating the overall gaming atmosphere. However, both reviewers and fans criticize the character design of this game, with accusations of allegedly imitating designs from the game Pokémon. In response, the developer contended that while character design might have similarities, the gameplay diverges significantly from Pokémon's.

Major crossover content in Tides of Terraria

The long-awaited Palworld x Terraria collaboration is finally here with the Tides of Terraria update. This crossover merges both worlds, bringing familiar elements from Terraria into Palworld. Players can now enter a new Terraria Dungeon and face classic enemies. The powerful Moon Lord also appears as a new raid boss, offering late-game resources. Six weapons and seven armor pieces from Terraria are also added to the game.

Aside from crossover content, this update introduces three new islands to explore, each filled with new Pals to discover and collect. Fishing also makes its debut, allowing players to cast rods and catch unique Pals. The update also introduces a Pal Trust mechanic. Gaining higher trust boosts your Pals' stats and deepens your connection with them. A long-requested feature has also been added—players can now sleep beside their Pals.

Enemies can now build their own bases, making raids more difficult. Several new structures are also available, including the Hexolite Quartz Mine and Large Incubator. The Arena sees major updates as well, with a new single-player challenge, the ability to ban specific Pals, and a multiplayer spectator feature. These are just some of the highlights in this update. Players can expect a lot more new content, along with various UI improvements, bug fixes, and balance adjustments.

ULTRAKILL hits the world of Pals

The ULTRAKILL x Palworld! Collab is shaking up Palworld as gear and weapons from ULTRAKILL make their debut. ULTRAKILL is a fast, brutal first-person shooter where players control the combat machine V1, tearing through enemies in a storm of action and style. Now, that intensity crosses over into the vibrant world of Pals. It’s a crossover no one expected—where cute creatures meet hardcore firepower. Fans can look forward to seeing how this unexpected mix transforms life on the Palpagos Islands.
