The legal tussle between Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, and Palworld’s developer, Pocketpair, is certainly making headlines. But that hasn’t put a stop to new content production for Palworld. Excitingly, the developers have just announced an unexpected collaboration with Terraria set to kick off in 2025.
This news broke on Palworld’s social media pages, accompanied by some original artwork that’s catching everyone’s eye. Although they’ve kept most details under wraps while other priorities take center stage, our curiosity is definitely piqued.
Speaking of fresh content, along with this crossover news, an entirely new island is set to hit Palworld in December. This new territory is overflowing with creatures and challenges, and it’s being described as the biggest, most intimidating, and mysterious one to date. For those familiar with the game, you might want to sit down—this island is six times larger than Sakurajima. And yes, they shared some tantalizing screenshots—make sure you don’t miss those!
Wrapped in the announcement was a tweet declaring, “🚨 Major update coming in December!🚨Survive on the largest, harshest, and most mysterious new island in Palworld! The size of the new island is about six times more than Sakurajima!!! Palworld is also currently 25% off! A perfect time to prepare for the upcoming update! Don’t… pic.twitter.com/f2AwDjNGXt.” Fans have been eagerly retweeting and buzzing about what’s to come.
Although Palworld’s initial buzz has dimmed somewhat, Pocketpair’s creation still holds a solid ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ rating on Steam. It attracts thousands of daily players across platforms, including Xbox and its more recent launch on PS5.
Should Terraria roll out Palworld-themed content in 2025, it would add another chapter to its enduring legacy. It seems Re-Logic’s beloved 2D crafting marvel, first launched in 2011, keeps proving its staying power, despite the creators hinting several times at stepping back.
On the peripheral of all this excitement, a tiny storm brewed when fans of Palworld took to social media to voice their disappointment over being snubbed at The Game Awards. The game’s Community Manager had to step in, urging the community to cool down. And in a twist of fate or irony, we’re hearing whispers of Tencent backing a new game called Light of Motiram—a title that cheekily nods to Palworld’s, let’s say, ‘inspired’ design choices akin to those seen in Pokémon.
