One of Japan’s most beloved creature-capturing games brings some big news. Here’s a hint: It has fluffy creatures and guns. That’s right — Palworld is about to bloom with the iconic cherry blossoms in its new Sakurajima update. However, that’s not all; Pocketpair presented many more surprises during the premiere of its new teaser at the Summer Game Fest. The best is that all these changes will be coming to the game in a short while, so get your backpack ready with Pals and bullets and embark on this thrilling journey.
Prepare to arrive at a new island on Palworld‘s archipelago, rich with the cultural charm of Japan. The area has architectural elements of this culture, such as the Ishidōrō lamps, Torri arches, and new buildings with this iconic style. If you are, like me, a fan of all the Japanese clichés that appear in video games or anime, you will love the bamboo forests of some of its regions. Above all, the Sakurajima Update paints Palworld in pink with the island’s hundreds of cherry blossom trees.
The Pals in this region are also new, and you can meet new subspecies. You will see a different dragon, a Pal with the appearance of a ronin, a Chandelure combined with Dusknoir, and even a mimic. So you better be careful when you find chests. We hope you won’t be like Frieren in this aspect. Just ensure you get to the max level cap, which increased with this update, before challenging the new Raid, the Arena, or the Oil Rig Stronghold. In this update, players will also have an extra challenge with the addition of a new enemy faction. The boss Pal of this faction is similar to Gardevoir combined with Lunala. For its human, she is a beautiful waifu with kimono and lunar motifs.
We have other terrific news for all the Xbox users out there because Palworld announced it will have dedicated servers for your console. And if you’re wondering when you can dive into all these exciting changes of the Sakurajima Update, mark your calendars for June 27th, 2024. With Pocketpair joining the long list of updates and games coming this summer, you’re in for a busy vacation filled with plenty of gaming. So, no excuses; it’s time to embark on this new adventure and start catching more pals.
