Pocketpair has teased plans to release a new PvP mode for Palworld.
Titled Pal Arena, it was announced during the Triple-i Initiative showcase on Wednesday.
“The Pal Arena makes its way to Palworld in 2024,” it said. “Battle against other players, pitting both yourself and your pals against them. Train the strongest Pals and defeat all your rivals!”
Released in January via Steam Early Access and Xbox Game Preview, Palworld attracted 25 million players in its first month, according to Pocketpair.
In a recent interview, Pocketpair CEO and game director Takuro Mizobe said the company’s in talks to bring Palworld to additional platforms.
He also said Pocketpair would be open to considering offers for partnership or acquisition, but that the company hasn’t engaged in buyout talks with Microsoft.
According to the Xbox maker, Palworld enjoyed the biggest third-party Game Pass launch to date.
Palworld reportedly cost less than 1 billion yen ($6.7 million) to make and has returned tens of billions of yen in profit.
“We are and will remain a small studio,” Mizobe told Bloomberg, “I want to make multiple small games. Big-budget triple-A games are not for us.”
“Games are most fun when playing with friends,” he added. “A game without a multiplayer mode just doesn’t feel right in the era we live today.”
Activision has showcased two new Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer maps.
A Baldur’s Gate 3 player online is taking no chances in Honour Mode, summoning an army of 88 monsters to help them complete the game. Honour Mode in Baldur’s Gate 3 is considered to be the game’s greatest challenge, but this team composition would certainly make things a little easier to handle.
The actor who plays JD Fenix in the Gears of War franchise appears to be teasing plans for a new series entry to be revealed in June.
Activision has detailed Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 3 Reloaded.
Pocketpair CEO Takuro Mizobe has said he’s “proud” to see other studios making games inspired by Palworld.
Palworld, the viral survival game that stirred up controversy (and found plenty of success) on the back of being a Pokémon-a-like - with added guns and factory labour, mind - is now due to become the inspiration for its own generation of clones, according to the head of its developers.
The CEO of Palworld studio Pocketpair has responded to Tencent's latest creature-raising clone, saying: "These are incredible times."
Palworld is heading in a totally different direction, as Pocket Pair has revealed a new PvP mode called The Arena. Also, that date announced during the Triple-i Initiative? Apparently it was a mistake.
Pocketpair has teased plans to release a big Palworld update this summer, ahead of the game’s Arena mode later in the year.
A «major» Palworld update is scheduled for this summer, though it won't have the previously-promised PvP Arena. Palworld recently made an appearance at the Triple-I Initiative showcase, a special event dedicated to revealing new information about upcoming indie games.
Roughly a week after releasing its first raid boss in Palworld, Pocketpair appeared during the Triple-i Initiative showcase to tease the next big update. It’s the Arena, where players can battle each other’s Pals in a fight to the figurative death. Thankfully, players won’t have to wait too long, as the Arena will launch this year.
Palworld has been keeping the updates and teasing coming as they now have been teasing yet another big feature coming to the game later this year. Recently, they just added raids to the game, while players are having a good time defeating the raids, they aren’t able to keep the Pal that they defeat sadly enough.
