The legal skirmish between Nintendo, The Pokemon Company, and Palworld’s creator Pocketpair might be intensifying, but that hasn’t put a halt on Palworld’s momentum when it comes to pumping out new content. Recently, the developers took fans by surprise with an announcement of an exciting collaboration with the beloved game Terraria, set to unfold in 2025.
This intriguing news dropped on the game’s social media channels, accompanied by a captivating piece of promotional artwork. Specifics about this crossover haven’t been unveiled just yet, as the team’s attention is elsewhere at the moment. However, it’s safe to say our curiosity is piqued.
Beyond just the crossover teaser, fans should brace for an upcoming addition this December—a new island adorned with fresh creatures and challenges, touted as the “largest, harshest, and most mysterious” yet, according to the developers. For seasoned players, this expansion is staggering, measuring a landmass approximately six times bigger than Sakurajima. Those interested can feast their eyes on some exclusive screenshots shared in the official announcement below.
With anticipation not quite as searing as it was earlier this year, Palworld still holds its ground well within the gaming community. Featuring cute, Pokemon-esque creatures and familiar gameplay mechanics, this survival crafting game by Pocketpair retains an ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ rating on Steam. It continues to engage thousands of gamers daily on both Xbox and, most recently, PS5.
If Terraria indeed incorporates Palworld-themed elements in 2025, it would signify another major update for Re-Logic’s game, which has delighted players since its 2011 debut, despite prior claims from the developers about shifting focus away from the classic title.
Meanwhile, in the broader Palworld universe, fans recently expressed disappointment when The Game Awards overlooked the game. The community manager responded, urging fans to relax. Additionally, news broke earlier today about a cheeky, Tencent-backed knock-off of Horizon called Light of Motiram. It stirs memories of Palworld’s intricate ties with Pokemon, often dubbed as ‘inspiration’ albeit in a bit tongue-in-cheek manner.
