Despite Legal Challenges, Palworld Plans a Mystery Collaboration with Terraria for 2025

The ongoing legal skirmish between Nintendo, The Pokemon Company, and Palworld developer Pocketpair might be intensifying, but that isn’t stopping the influx of new content for Palworld. Excitingly, the company just announced an unexpected collaboration with Terraria, set to roll out in 2025.

This surprising news dropped on Palworld’s social media, showcasing an intriguing piece of promotional artwork. While they’re keeping specific details about this crossover under wraps for now, there’s definitely a buzz of curiosity in the air.

Beyond just the crossover, there’s another announcement sure to catch players’ attention. In December, a brand-new island is being added to Palworld, teeming with fresh creatures and challenges. The developers are touting it as the “largest, harshest, and most mysterious” addition yet. For those already hooked on the game, the new landmass measures about six times larger than Sakurajima, promising plenty of new adventures. The announcement included some enticing screenshots, so make sure to take a look below.

Even though the initial excitement about Palworld has tempered since its early days, Pocketpair’s survival crafting game—with its charming, Pokemon-esque creatures—remains incredibly popular on Steam, boasting an ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ rating. The game also enjoys a strong player base on Xbox and has more recently made waves on the PS5.

Looking ahead to 2025, if Terraria incorporates Palworld-themed content, it will mark another major evolution for Re-Logic’s classic game, which originally launched in 2011. It’s interesting, considering the developers have indicated plans to scale back on updates for their beloved 2D crafting title.

In other news around the Palworld sphere, the community recently expressed disappointment over the game’s absence from The Game Awards. The game’s community manager advised everyone to take it easy. Additionally, we’ve heard about Light of Motiram, a Tencent-backed game that’s drawing some comparisons to Horizon—and sparking discussions about Palworld’s own “inspirations,” particularly in relation to Pokemon’s influence.
