A title we don’t hear updates about very often took up a slot during Summer Game Fest to announce the release window for their game. Developer Pocketpair will soon blend open-world creature-collector and third-person shooter in their upcoming title Palworld.

Step into a beautiful open world full of fantastic creatures known as “Pals”. These mighty critters possess the power of the elements themselves. Craft a cozy homestead, build a mighty base and a Pal-powered factory, or dive into dungeons with the assistance of Pals’ weapon-wielding special abilities. Embark on legendary monster hunts solo or invite friends for a multiplayer adventure. Got an army of Pals that can’t be beat? Put skill and strategy to the test against trainers around the world in online battles.

What makes this trailer stand out from the previously revealed gameplay is that this time they revealed a few interesting aspects. These things include mysterious girls standing in the player’s way, a hellfire beast Pal shaking and scorching the earth, mysterious stone statues with the shape of Anubis found in desert, fighting against enormous mammoth-like Pals, and capturing many Pals and forcing them to work at your base!

Palworld is set to launch into early access in January 2024 on PC via Steam. What do you think about this upcoming genre blend?
