Going off theSteam announcement, Palworld’s next major update lands sometime in December.
It’ll include new species, but not just any new species - “vicious” species.
This suggests that the pals will be nasty and horrible, as opposed to pals.

Let’s look at the three images (the only images we have) of the new update.
Elsewhere, a collaboration withTerrariais in the works for 2025.
Let me hit you with a quick TLDR (here’s the more detailed rundown).

When Palworld first launched, some Pokemon players thought that Palworld hadbroken Pokemon’s copyright.
Earlier this month, Pocketpairrevealed three patents Nintendo and the Pokemon Company are taking them to court about.
The Pokemon lads are also seeking an injunction against the game, potentially blocking sales.

It’s not clear what the outcome will be, but Pocketpair aren’t backing down.
