Palworld’s latest update, Feybreak, significantly expands the game’s universe by adding a massive new island. This new addition is reportedly six times the size of the previous Sakuraijima update, offering players even more space to explore within the already vast Palworld domain. This island is brimming with new Pals to collect, challenging enemies to battle, and resources ripe for gathering. Plus, it introduces realistic weaponry—there’s everything from assault rifles and sub-machine guns to grenades that players can craft.
For those keen on the nitty-gritty details, the full patch notes for Feybreak are available, but a few features deserve a spotlight. Notably, players can now sit in chairs for the very first time, and there are new modules for Spheres, Palworld’s version of Poké Balls, which give an interesting twist to how they’re thrown, reminiscent of Pokémon Go’s curveballs. Given the legal tensions Pocketpair, the developer of Palworld, has had with Nintendo, these additions might raise some eyebrows, but I’m no legal expert. Plus, it’s worth noting that in Pokémon games, sitting in chairs is a bit of a rarity.
Palworld adventurers will also have the chance to wield the Meowmere, a quirky sword from Terraria that shoots projectiles and gives a meow with each swing—this peculiar weapon makes an appearance in the video below. The developers over at Pocketpair tease that this is just a taste of their collaboration with Terraria, promising more crossover content in 2025 for fans to enjoy.
The past year has been a challenging one for Palworld, fraught with legal issues. Yet, the game still shined brightly enough to nab a nomination for Best Early Access Game at the Golden Joystick Awards, though it was ultimately beaten by the horror-comedy game Lethal Company. Currently, Palworld is also a contender in the Better With Friends category in the Steam Awards. Pocketpair is resolute in growing its intriguing Pokémon-like adventure, and it will be fascinating to watch its progress unfold in the coming year.
