Palworld Set for Xbox Game Pass Release Next Week
Palworld has had players wanting to know more about the game since it was first revealed with its unique take on a monster-collecting game. The game has been coined as “Pokemon with guns” where players collect creatures called Pals and can give them guns. According to a new trailer, the game is coming to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and Game Pass on day one on January 19.
The game will remain in early access for at least a year as developer Pocketpair stated on the Steam page. The developer will add more content and make improvements to the game for it to be ready for full launch during the early access. Pocketpair has mentioned that it will bring new features to the game including PvP, and more but all “core systems” are present in the game.
It will also be adding more Pals to the game post-launch and will take player feedback during the early access to polish the game. In the game, players can collect up to 100 Pals using devices similar to Poke Balls to help them build things, hunt, fight bosses, and more. Palworld will support up to 32 players at launch and also has open-world survival, crafting, dungeons, and more.
Players can put Pals at work to do whatever they want to streamline things and even work as slaves too until they’re dead but only if they don’t feed them. They can also eat Pals if they have nothing else as the game also has harsh environments with limited availability of food. There are also firearms that players can use to shoot the Pals or equip them with weapons to fight enemies.
Players can also get Pals to work in factories if they are short on ammunition. They can engage in fights or any activities with other players with PvP but it will be added later on. The latest trailer gives players a brief look at the Pals they can expect to see in the game. The Pals can be seen working, fighting, cooking, and more.
The trailer also showcases the player character and them flying across the in-game world on the back of a dragon-like creature. The player character is also seen fighting Pals to capture them and it also shows other characters that players can come across in the game. The fans are happy to learn that Palworld is finally releasing as they have been very excitedly waiting to play the game.
