The legal tussle between Nintendo, The Pokemon Company, and Palworld developer Pocketpair is really starting to heat up, but that hasn’t put a damper on Palworld’s development. In a surprising twist, the developers have announced a collaboration with Terraria expected to debut in 2025.
This exciting news was revealed through the game’s social media platforms, accompanied by a teaser image that’s quite intriguing though details are still under wraps. For now, it seems everyone’s focus is elsewhere, but our curiosity is definitely piqued.
Alongside this crossover revelation, there’s more on the horizon for Palworld fans. Come December, players will be exploring a brand-new island teeming with fresh creatures and challenges. This addition is touted by the developers as the “largest, harshest, and most mysterious” territory yet — dwarfing Sakurajima by about six times. Sneak a peek at the screenshots shared below:
A major update is on the way! Brace yourself to survive on Palworld’s most expansive and challenging island yet! At six times the size of Sakurajima, it’s the perfect terrain for adventurers. Plus, Palworld is currently available at a 25% discount, making it an ideal moment to gear up for what’s next. Don’t miss out on these great visuals!
Though its buzz has slightly mellowed since earlier this year, Palworld, with its captivating survival crafting gameplay featuring Pokemon-esque creatures, still boasts an ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ rating on Steam. Daily, thousands continue to dive into its world, not to mention those on Xbox and the recently added PS5.
Should Terraria integrate some Palworld-themed content in 2025, it would be a notable addition to Re-Logic’s game, which has seen numerous updates since the developers initially announced plans to step back from their iconic 2011-launched 2D crafting game.
In other news surrounding the Palworld universe, there was a bit of an uproar when The Game Awards overlooked the game entirely, prompting a comment from its community manager urging fans to stay calm. Additionally, a cheeky Tencent-backed knockoff named Light of Motiram has stirred the pot a bit, drawing some amusing parallels to Palworld’s cheeky nod to Pokemon as a ‘source of inspiration,’ to phrase it gently.
