The legal tussle between Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, and the creators of Palworld, Pocketpair, shows no signs of cooling off. Yet, this hasn’t slowed down the rollout of fresh content for Palworld. In an unexpected turn, Pocketpair has unveiled plans for a collaboration with Terraria slated for 2025, sparking curiosity among fans.
This exciting announcement appeared on the game’s social media pages, accompanied by a tantalizing piece of promo art. While specifics of what this crossover will entail remain under wraps, the gaming community can’t help but be intrigued by the possibilities.
Amid this buzz, Palworld is gearing up to introduce an enormous new island this December, complete with unique creatures and tough challenges. The developers describe it as the “largest, harshest, and most mysterious” addition to the game yet. To give you an idea of the scale, it’s about six times the size of Sakurajima, a well-known area within the game. Curious about it? There are some captivating screenshots included in the official post—make sure to check them out below!
Though the initial hype surrounding Palworld has tapered off somewhat, Pocketpair’s survival crafting game has carved out a thriving community. Featuring Pokémon-like creatures along with similar mechanics, the game boasts an ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ rating on Steam. It enjoys a dedicated player base not just on PC, but on Xbox and the recently added PS5 platform as well.
If Terraria is indeed slated to receive Palworld-themed updates in 2025, it promises to be a significant addition to Re-Logic’s beloved title. Interestingly, this comes after the developers had previously suggested they might finally be winding down updates for the 2011-launched 2D crafting classic.
In more news from the world of Palworld, its absence from The Game Awards has ruffled some feathers. The game’s Community Manager, however, urged fans to stay calm. This comes on the heels of earlier news about Light of Motiram— a cheeky, Tencent-backed game drawing comparisons to Horizon—raising eyebrows for its alleged ‘inspiration’ from Palworld’s dynamic, which some feel is reminiscent of its ties with Pokémon. All eyes will be on how the relationship between these games evolves moving forward.
