The legal tussle between Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, and Palworld’s developer, Pocketpair, is certainly drawing attention, but that hasn’t dampened the momentum behind new content for Palworld. In an unexpected twist, the developers have revealed a collaboration with Terraria scheduled for 2025.
This announcement was made via the game’s social media, accompanied by an eye-catching piece of art. While specifics of this crossover remain under wraps, keeping us guessing, the anticipation is real.
In addition to the crossover news, there’s an exciting update for Palworld on the horizon. Come December, players can look forward to exploring a brand new island, teeming with new creatures and challenges. The developers have described it as the “largest, harshest, and most mysterious” addition yet. For context, this new region is about six times larger than Sakurajima, which is quite a leap. The announcement was accompanied by some enticing screenshots to whet the appetite.
On Palworld’s Twitter, the announcement read: “🚨 Major update coming in December!🚨 Survive on the largest, harshest, and most mysterious new island in Palworld!” Notably, the game is currently 25% off, making it an opportune moment for players to gear up for what’s next.
While the initial hype around Palworld has quieted since earlier this year, Pocketpair’s survival crafting game—known for its Pokémon-esque creatures—continues to maintain an ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ rating on Steam. It attracts thousands of players daily across platforms, including Xbox and, more recently, PS5.
If Terraria embraces Palworld-themed content in 2025, it would represent another substantial enhancement for Re-Logic’s game. This is particularly noteworthy given that the developers have repeatedly indicated plans to step back from developing further updates for the iconic 2D crafting game first released in 2011.
Meanwhile, there’s been a bit of a stir in the Palworld community, largely due to its omission from The Game Awards. The game’s community manager even stepped in, urging fans to calm down. On a related note, we’ve caught wind of a new Tencent-backed game, Light of Motiram, that seemingly borrows from the Horizon series, reminiscent of Palworld’s own contentious yet creatively eclectic inspirations.
