Pocketpair is celebrating the first anniversary of the Palworld by unveiling an ambitious roadmap for 2025.
The survival crafting game, which launched on January 19, 2024, has maintained strong momentum despite recent legal challenges with Nintendo, and developers are promising substantial new content and improvements in the coming year.
Major Features Coming in 2025
The development team has outlined several significant additions:
- Cross-platform cooperative play
- Ability to transfer Pals between worlds
- New final boss encounter
- Additional ending scenario
- Enhanced Pal strengthening systems
- New Pals and technologies to discover
- Collaboration with Terraria
Quality of Life Improvements
Beyond new content, Pocketpair plans to polish existing features:
- Enhanced world object placement
- Improvements to base Pals
- Better game optimization
- Refined user experience
Anniversary Celebrations
To mark the occasion, Pocketpair has launched two special initiatives:
- A worldwide popularity poll for over 180 Pals and seven faction leaders
- Release of the complete official soundtrack for free on YouTube
Track Record of Delivery
The roadmap announcement follows a year of substantial updates:
- The Sakurajima Update (June 2024) added a Japanese-themed island for endgame players
- The Feybreak Update (December 2024) expanded the map with new high-level regions and Pals
Looking Forward
Currently, Palworld is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC (via Steam and Microsoft Store). However, it is planned for a mobile release with the help of Krafton’s PUBG Studios in the future. Additionally, the game will be launched on macOS on February 27.
The developers expressed gratitude to their player base, stating they “look forward to continued support for Palworld in its second year” as they work toward implementing these ambitious plans while addressing existing bugs and technical issues.
