Pocketpair has rolled out a fresh update for the early access hit game, Palworld. Originally launched in early 2024, this survival game quickly captured the hearts of gamers on Steam and Xbox, becoming one of the standout releases of the year despite its early access tag. Eventually, PlayStation 5 users joined the fray, eager to experience what others have been raving about.
Palworld’s journey hasn’t been entirely smooth. The game faced its share of controversies, particularly regarding resemblances between its Pals and Pokémon, a move that didn’t sit well with Nintendo. The escalating dispute led Pocketpair to alter how Pals are summoned, much to some players’ discontent. Nevertheless, the developer remains undeterred, consistently releasing major updates to keep the game evolving.
Following Palworld’s debut, Pocketpair released two significant updates. The Sakurajima update introduced a picturesque island and new Pals, while the subsequent Feybreak update expanded on this with even more thrilling content. The recent update, v0.4.13, while not introducing much new content, focuses on resolving persistent bugs and enhancing the game’s performance.
Post-update, players will enjoy quicker turn rates for Xenolord and Frostallion mid-air, alongside a boosted drop rate for legendary blueprints on the Large Oil Rig, with uncommon blueprints now excluded from large chest loot. This patch also sweeps away issues like characters falling through terrain, Pals ceasing to generate power, and tower bosses getting stuck.
In addition, Pals will now rally back to players if they stray too far during battles, and they won’t dodge if the player aims near them. These updates, alongside a slew of other bug fixes, promise a more seamless gameplay experience. As Palworld marches towards its full release, players can anticipate a steady stream of updates to further enrich their journey.
