Released as an early-access title in January this year, Palworld has achieved critical and commercial success with its satirical premise and a fun gameplay loop. And with a community of players who just can’t get enough of it, it looks like Pocketpair is doing everything it can to make them spend more time in the Palpagos Islands.

Palworld’s unique premise gives its players a fun and engaging experience.

Set in an open world that’s inhabited by various creatures called Pals, the game allows players to battle Pals to capture them, assigning a variety of tasks to them in order to make progress. Pals can help players scavenge food, build bases, and even take on boss fights with their unique abilities. It joins the ranks of several unique indie titles that have become hits with their players.

And with a recent update to the game, it looks like Pocketpair is looking to do a lot more with it.
