Beyond that fact, Palworld’s early access offerings are seemingly expansive, to say the least. At launch, Palworld will feature over 100 Pals to find and catch throughout the large open world—not unlike how you catch Pokemon. The differences begin with how you catch Pals. You can use basic melee weapons or a bow to weaken them yourself, and eventually capture them. Pals then follow you around and fight for you or with you by using skills that they learn over time. Some of Palworld’s pals also have uses outside of combat. They can act as mounts you can ride on the ground, or even in the air.

Palworld also features house and base building. At launch, it’ll let you employ your captured pals to do a lot of the building for you. You will even be able to have dozens of pals working assembly lines and helping you craft new items like guns and ammunition—that they themselves can use. Additionally, Pocketpair plans on having Palworld in early access for at least a year as they continually add new content and fix current content’s bugs.

Pocketpair claims that the early access version of Palworld will also feature over 350 items and more than 70 types of buildings to use and explore respectively. That said, there will be a roadmap that fans of Palworld’s early access can follow as the developers change and add more content to this highly anticipated and very charming upcoming game. Bonus points to them for allowing players to play offline and with up to 32 players on dedicated servers. Sadly, those who want this title on PlayStation may have to wait a bit.
