Cute monster games alert! At Tokyo Game Show 2023, development studio Pocket Pair unveiled a trailer for Palworld, a Pokemon-like game whose colorful atmosphere contrasts sharply with its dark theme of enslaved creatures, all wrapped up in a humorous, offbeat veneer. And the good news is that we now know its release date! The game will be available in early access on Game Pass ( PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series) on January 19, 2024.
The images revealed at the Tokyo Game Show take us back to a universe that oscillates between the adorable and the brutal, a surprising and captivating mix. The playful aspect of Palworld hides a darker dimension where creatures called "Pals" seem to be exploited, a bold narrative choice that sets Palworld apart from its competitors. The title recycles some footage from previous trailers, but reveals new species of Pals and emphasizes the customization of the player's avatar, albeit basic. The lack of substantial new information may have left some fans wanting more, but the glimpse of a few champions evoking the world of Pokémon arenas rekindled interest in the title.
Palworld promises an immersive adventure in a vast world populated by multi-faceted creatures. Echoing the Pokémon universe is inevitable, but Palworld offers a more mature touch, confronting players with moral dilemmas in an environment where survival dictates the law. Players will be able to engage their Pals in battle, sell them, or even, in extreme situations, consume them to subsist.
Exploration of the world, rich in dangers and surprises, will take place by various means - flying, swimming, digging - always in the company of these endearing Pals. The announcement of Palworld 's release on the Steam page mentioned availability as early as January 2024, but only the year was confirmed at the Tokyo Game Show, leaving a veil of mystery hanging over the precise release date of this promising title. All we can do now is wait!
