Pocketpair has recently disclosed its Early Access roadmap for Palworld and announced a bunch of upcoming features.
In the span of approximately one year, we should see most, if not all, of these features implemented into Palworld, so let’s dive into what they are.
All upcoming features announced for Palworld Early Access roadmap
If you’re excited to continue playing Palworld, there are tons of new features coming in the future on the way to its full release. Now that Palworld recently reached five million sales, more and more players are fiending for what’s next.
PvP/Arena mode
PvP combat is on its way, which is essentially an Arena mode. Pocketpair hopes to implement PvP servers, since it’s now testing this feature internally. While players can currently play Palworld with friends, it’s only cooperatively, and not through any PvP Arena mode.
Crossplay
Although you can currently play Palworld on PC and Xbox, crossplay is not yet an option. Pocketpair has already stated that it’s working on crossplay between PC and Xbox so you and your friends can play together, no matter what console you own.
Raid bosses
While we don’t know much yet about what raid bosses will play like, Pocketpair has declared plans to bring them to Palworld. Similar to bosses you can already tackle with friends, raids would allow players to group up and work together to defeat the boss.
Pal trading
In the future, you and your friends will be able to trade for rare Pals together. Apparently, it may not even require you to be in the same server. Being able to trade Pals sounds like a fun way to collect your favorite Pals without having to catch them yourself.
Save/server transfers
Another thing on Pocketpair’s mind is the ability to transfer save files between multiplayer and singleplayer servers. I’m not sure how smooth this would be, but it’s apparently on the horizon.
New Pals, enemies, dungeons, and buildings
More things such as “major building system updates”, alongside fresh Pals, monsters, dungeons, areas, buildings, and items were mentioned. This is to be expected, since there are just over 100 Pals currently available, with plans to have nearly 200. We’re not sure yet what this new building system would look like, but it’ll be interesting to see how it works in the future.
Steam Workshop support
Finally, Pocketpair confirmed that sometime after launch it’s interested in seeing what mods players create. While one Pokémon mod was already taken down by Nintendo, unsurprisingly, hopefully Steam Workshop support will allow for an abundance of other interesting mods.
Hopefully Pocketpair doesn’t catch wind of the unlimited Pal Spheres exploit, because it’s been a lifesaver.
