‘Palworld,’ the open-world survival game, is gearing up for a substantial update this December. Developer Pocketpair plans to introduce a new island, touted as the game’s ‘largest, harshest, and most mysterious‘ area to date. This addition is expected to be approximately six times bigger than Sakurajima, an island included in a previous update.

Looking ahead to 2025, Pocketpair has unveiled plans for a crossover with the indie crafting game Terraria. While specific details remain under wraps, teaser artwork suggests interactions between characters from both games, hinting at an engaging collaboration.

However, these developments come amid legal challenges. In September 2024, Nintendo company filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair, alleging that Palworld infringes on several patents. The disputed patents reportedly cover mechanics like initiating battles by throwing objects and riding creatures in an open-world setting.

Nintendo is seeking damages and an injunction to halt Palworld’s sales in Japan during the legal proceedings.

Despite these legal hurdles, Pocketpair remains committed to enhancing Palworld. The upcoming December update and the planned Terraria crossover demonstrate the developer’s dedication to expanding the game’s content and providing fresh experiences for players.

As the situation unfolds, the gaming community is closely monitoring how Pocketpair navigates these challenges while continuing to develop and support Palworld.

Ysmael “Eng” Delicana is a writer based in Davao City, Philippines. He earned his bachelor’s degree in economics at Ateneo de Davao University before continuing to teach part-time at the same university. While teaching was a fun gig, being a geek and a writer seemed to be his calling. His expertise includes fantasy shows and movies, comic books, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and popular RPG video games. Ysmael also excels at learning new things and getting to know new topics that are interesting yet foreign to him, and that’s why he can also be called a jack of all trades. He also works as a part-time writer for books about sports. As an avid fan of fantasy TV shows, video games, and books, Ysmael is fond of watching, playing, and reading things related to fantasy, magic, and mystical creatures. However, he is also a huge fan of anime, as he spends a portion of his time watching shonen anime. As long as something is interesting and worth his time, Ysmael tends to devote his effort to it, as he has been great at geeking out about a certain topic. Ysmael’s writing style tends to be quite conversational in the sense that he likes speaking to the readers instead of making them feel like they are reading something tedious. He picked up this during his teaching years because he needed to find ways to simplify topics that tend to be foreign and complex to students. Ysmael also writes for Comic Basics.
