The legal drama between Nintendo, The Pokemon Company, and Palworld’s developer Pocketpair continues to unfold, yet it’s not putting a damper on Palworld’s progress. In an unexpected twist, the developers have unveiled an upcoming collaboration with the fan-favorite game Terraria, set to take place in 2025.
This announcement appeared on the game’s social media, complete with a fresh piece of promotional art. While we’re still waiting for specifics on this crossover, which promises to be exciting, the developers have hinted at a significant focus on other aspects for now. It’s enough to keep the fans eagerly speculating.
Beyond the buzz about the crossover, Palworld is gearing up for a major expansion. This December, an entirely new island will be introduced, teeming with novel creatures and exciting challenges. Described by the developers as the “largest, harshest, and most mysterious” island yet, it’s reportedly six times the size of Sakurajima. The announcement was accompanied by some tantalizing screenshots, offering a glimpse of what’s to come.
And there’s more good news for Palworld fans. If you’ve been considering diving into the game, now might be the perfect time, as Palworld is currently discounted by 25%. This promotion offers an excellent chance to gear up for the forthcoming update.
Although the initial excitement around Palworld has toned down a bit since earlier this year, it still commands a strong following. Pocketpair’s survival crafting adventure, which boasts creatures and mechanics reminiscent of Pokemon, is thriving on Steam with an ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ review score and continues to attract thousands of daily players. This number doesn’t even include those engaged on Xbox and, more recently, the PS5.
If Terraria ends up featuring Palworld elements in 2025, it would represent yet another ambitious update for Re-Logic’s classic, after having announced a focus shift from their enduring 2D crafting masterpiece that debuted in 2011.
In other related news, the Palworld community recently expressed disappointment over the game being overlooked at The Game Awards. The game’s community manager stepped in, advising fans to take it easy. Additionally, today brought word of a controversial new game backed by Tencent called Light of Motiram, a blatant Horizon clone that’s sparking conversations reminiscent of Palworld’s challenging association with Pokemon – a connection some describe as ‘inspirational,’ to say the least.
