As an early access game, Palworld still isn't complete, and Pocketpair is regularly releasing updates and adding new features to the title. Many players eagerly check out new content as soon as it launches and there's already lots of discussion and debate in the community about what could, or should, be added in the future. Some Palworld players have lists of helpful features that they'd like to see introduced to improve everything, from building and design, to combat and exploration. Now, some lucky gamers will get to see what's being added before the rest of the fan base.
