In honor of Palworld’s first anniversary, Pocketpair unveils future update roadmap, though release dates remain unspecified

Can you believe it’s already been a year since Palworld dropped into early access? Time really flies, doesn’t it? The buzz might have quieted down a bit since it first hit the scene, but Palworld has kept up with steady updates. Sure, it’s faced some hurdles, like that pesky lawsuit with The Pokémon Company and Nintendo, but that hasn’t slowed down their plans for enhancing the game at all. Over on their official Twitter, they just shared a roadmap spotlighting exciting new updates that are in the works, featuring some fan-favorite requests.

First off on the major updates front, the game is set to introduce co-op crossplay. That means you and your friends, regardless of the platform, can dive into the action together. They’re also working on a world transfer option for your Pals, so moving them around is about to get a lot easier. A Final Boss showdown and proper ending sequence are also in the pipeline, promising a more complete experience. Plus, you’ll find new ways to beef up and evolve your Pals, not to mention additional Pals and tech to discover. And let’s not forget, they’ve got some exciting collaborations planned too. Remember that Terraria crossover teased last year? It’s just one of the surprises they have in store. Expect tweaks for base Pals, UX enhancements, and better world object placement as well.

Now, you might be wondering, “When are these updates actually dropping?” The truth is, the roadmap was more of a teaser rather than a schedule—basically a heads-up about what they’re working on. So, we’ll just have to be patient for now. On another note, Palworld is launching its first ever global popularity poll. So, get ready to cast your vote for your favorite Pal. My money’s on that Totoro-esque character wielding a gatling gun. It’s going to be interesting to see who comes out on top!
