Palworld looks to the future as it reveals Early Access roadmap – Destructoid

To celebrate Palworld‘s first anniversary, Pocketpair has revealed the game’s Early Access roadmap, offering players a glimpse at the content they can expect to receive on the road to a 1.0 release.

Palworld came out of the gates swinging at the start of 2024, becoming a surprise mega-hit for Pocketpair despite still being an Early Access title. The game’s unique “Pokemon with guns” theme was enough to pique gamers’ curiosities, making the game an overnight success. While the player count hasn’t remained at the dizzying heights of its launch period, Palworld remains extremely popular.

Palworld teases Early Access roadmap

Despite Palworld‘s popularity, Pocketpair never rested on its laurels, continuing to deliver frequent content for players. Now, as it celebrates the game’s first anniversary, the developer has revealed the future roadmap as Palworld hurtles toward its 1.0 release.

Before Palworld fully launches, there are some pretty big features on the way. Headlining the roadmap is the addition of co-op crossplay, which will allow you to team up with your friends no matter where they play. The chance to transfer Pals between worlds and a potential ending scenario should also be an exciting prospect for fans.

Also in the pipeline is the already-announced Palworld x Terraria crossover, although this roadmap seems to hint at even more collaborations in the future. Then, there are the seemingly obvious things such as new Pals and technologies, which most could have guessed were on the way at some point. Finally, the roadmap reaches the generic “Other Improvements” category, promising vague improvements across the board in various areas.

At the moment, Pocketpair has yet to provide a timeline for all of its planned Early Access content. Given the scale of the updates released over the last 12 months, it’s not impossible to think most of the roadmap content will arrive in 2025.
