From the Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palworld):
Palworld[a] is an action-adventure, survival, and monster-taming game created and published by Japanese developer Pocket Pair. The game is set in an open world populated with animal-like creatures called "Pals", which players can battle and capture to use for base building, traversal, and combat. Palworld can be played either solo or online with up to 32 players on one server. It was announced in 2021 and launched through early access for Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S in January 2024.
The game's comedic premise, which involves using firearms and equipping Pals with them, has earned it the nickname "Pokémon with guns". Other elements, such as using creatures for food or placing them to work in mines and factories, have also garnered attention.[4][5] It was generally well received, with praise for its gameplay, content, and satirical premise,[6][7][8] but criticism for its reliance on shock humor and use of unoriginal designs and mechanics.[9][10][11][12]
Palworld sold eight million units in its first six days of early access and reached over two million concurrent players on Steam, making it the platform's largest paid game by concurrent player count and the second-highest played game of all time.[13][14]
In Palworld, players control a customizable avatar from a third-person perspective and explore the open-world Palpagos Islands. Players must manage their hunger level, craft basic tools, gather materials, and build bases that act as fast travel points. Unlocks through a technology tree allow the player to craft and use weapons, structures, and decorations.[9]
The islands are inhabited by over 100 creatures called Pals, which players directly engage in combat with to weaken and then capture using "Pal Spheres". Pals can also be bought on the black market through non-player characters or traded with other players.[9] After obtaining Pals, they can be summoned to battle or stationed at bases to assist with tasks such as scavenging, crafting, and cooking depending on their type. Each Pal has a Partner Skill, allowing further utility by using them as weapons or mounts.[15]
The game's antagonists include various factions, such as the Rayne Syndicate criminal organization, the Free Pal Alliance liberation movement, the Brothers of the Eternal Pyre fanatical group, the police-like Palpagos Islands Defense Force, and the Pal Genetic Research Unit These factions are led by powerful Pal trainers who reside in towers across the islands and are the game's main boss battles.[16] The factions include human NPCs who occasionally spawn in the world, either patrolling or battling each other, who are hostile to the player and can fight them with weapons. The game features a wanted level system; if the player commits a crime, usually against humans, other human NPCs will become hostile and defense force troopers will spawn to attack them until they are killed or evade their pursuers.[17][18]
Palworld is being developed and published by Pocket Pair, an independent company based in Shinagawa, Tokyo. It is their second early access open world survival project, following Craftopia. Like it, it uses gameplay mechanics reminiscent of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but has added creature-collecting mechanics popularized by the Pokémon franchise.[19] Pocket Pair said that Pokémon was not one of their main inspirations. According to CEO Takuro Mizobe, the concept of Palworld is based on Ark: Survival Evolved, which also had monster companions in dinosaurs; the survival mechanics and in-game tasks were inspired by Rust.[20]
The game was revealed on June 5, 2021, detailing key features such as survival, crafting, exploration, exploitation of creatures, and the multiplayer focus.[23] More details were shared over the following years, and the game appeared as part of presentations such as Tokyo Game Show, where Pocket Pair announced the release for Xbox consoles in addition to PC, and Summer Game Fest, where they revealed a early access launch window in January 2024.[24][25]
Palworld was released on January 19, 2024, through Steam Early Access and Xbox Game Preview (available with Game Pass from day one), where it is expected to remain for at least one year.[26] Planned features for future updates include PvP modes, guild raids, and cross-server Pal trading.[27]
