Palworld Roadmap: All Confirmed Updates Early Access Plans So Far

Pocketpair has shared the content it plans to add to Palworld 's early access in a post from the official Palworld X (formerly Twitter). The developers said they are dedicated on fixing critical bugs first, but that **PvP, raid bosses, server transfers, crossplay, new islands and technology, and mod support will be coming to Palworld in the future ** . All these have been popular requests among the community and are significant steps to improve the game. Though it is unknown when these updates will come, Palworld plans to be in early access for at least a year but is not against extending it if nee


Though Palworld has said more Pals will be added in the future, no word has come about if new types will come with them. Currently, the game has only nine types, and that lack of range is sometimes felt in game. The lack of many dual types, along with this limited range, does make it feel weird to build teams sometimes. As in Pokémon, it is natural to have one team with wider coverage. In contrast, Palworld feels better to tune one's entire team to whatever type they will encoun


The ability to fight alongside your Pal is an advantage Palworld has, but it ends at that. Type effectiveness does matter, but it's simplified when compared to Pokémon. Pokémon has more gimmicks, status effect moves, Keep Reading and items that make battles feel unique. Every Palworld battle is the same rotation of throwing out a super-effective Pal, shooting alongside it, and dodging whenever the enemy Pal switches targets to the player. These fights are more **physically demanding than those in Pokémon , but they are not very strategically appealing


Palworld launched with more content than expected for an early-access game. However, this doesn't mean the current content cannot be improved, and new content added to help fill in missing pieces. Currently, the game can feel somewhat limited in the mid-to-end game, as most of the core objectives are beating bosses and base building. This building aspect, while limited, could supplement this issue for some, but it is best to round out a game like this to have options open for all types of play

Palworld has no story to speak of, with only little journal pages scattered about the map that give bits and pieces of information. There is a chance when the game has a full release, a story could be added that gives a more linear quest line to follow, but currently, it is just exploring and having fun. This may not be a drawback for some, but those who want a compelling story will be disappointed. Despite its troubles in recent games, **Pokémon has still excelled at creating interesting stories that entertain its audience ** throughout the g


Lifmunk is more than a hologram in Palworld as its real counterpart is a grass-type Pal that looks like a squirrel version of Leafeon from the Pokemon series. Lifmunk’s Partner Skill item will turn the player’s head into a sad


Jolthog is an electrified hedgehog and a pretty small Pal overall. It’s one of the few Electric-type Pals that will be around the starting area and even then they are quite rare. Instead of wielding it like a gun, players will instead throw their Jolthog when the Partner Skill is activa


Tanzee is another Grass-type Pal that can wield a gun. Unlike Lifmunk, Tanzee operates independently of the player. He will pull out an assault rifle and start firing away at enemies for a few rounds before it is ready to cool off. The Partner Skill is good in a pinch especially when surrounded by a bunch of raiders at home base. However, sometimes the AI’s aiming for Tanzee can be a bit off which is to be expected in an Early Access ga


Raids are another interesting angle, as the game already includes world bosses. The only information presented around them is that it will require guild members to work together . This speculates that these raids may either be longer than world bosses or much tougher, to the point that a single player would struggle with them. Either option would be a boon to Palworld , but perhaps a combination of both would be the best outc


Only in the last few games has Pokémon started to increase the number of interactions with their lovable creatures, but once again is easily surpassed by Palworld . The obvious is that players can fight alongside their Pals, but other features, such as Pal reactions or mounts, also excel. Mounts in Palworld are limited to certain Pals, but most have a unique feature that sets them apart. Some Pals can even be used as impromptu tools or weapons , like Foxsparks, which can be picked up and used as a flamethro

Palworld takes a semi-realistic approach to weighting items, with heavy things like Stone and Ore being appropriately weighty in your inventory. Since you need tons of these items to progress through the technology tree, you'll end up weighed down by items more often than not.


Mod support will likely be the largest addition to the game, as it opens up an entire world of possibilities. A good example would be Ark , where fans have added numerous dinosaurs, weapons, items, and building changes through mods. Though this change would only affect PC players, it would still be a significant addition to help supplement the game. Mods often breathe life into games and can help overcome the time between updates, giving Pocketpair the ability to release the best version of its plans when it is re
