Read details on the game below:
Palworld is an open-world survival crafting game that supports up to 32 players and is set in a world where mysterious creatures called “Pals” live.
Along your adventures, you will encounter many Pals. Capture them, make them work, fight, breed and even sell them. You can adventure in a large world alongside your Pals.
Over 100 Pals
In Palworld, mysterious creatures called “Pal” live in the wild. There are also many rare pals such as subspecies, bosses, legends, lucky pals, etc. Additionally, more Pals will continue to be added in future updates.
Capture and Train Pals
Every pal has a special skill for you to utilize. There are also Pals that can fly and Pals that can use guns!
Vast Open World and many Dungeons to Explore
There are various areas such as plains, deserts, snowy mountains, and volcanoes, and the pals living there are all different. There are also many dungeons with hidden treasures and special pals. Set out on a great adventure in search of unknown treasures and unknown pals.
Fight Against Leaders of Hostile Factions and Field Bosses
As you explore the vast open world, you may come across giant Pals. In addition, each biome has a hostile faction based there, whose leaders stand in your way and won’t back down without a fight.
Fight Alongside Pals using a Wide Variety of Weapons
From traditional weapons such as bows and swords to modern weapons such as assault rifles and rocket launchers. Some pals can use heavy weapons such as Gatling guns and missile launchers!
Build a Base
Leave production, farming, cooking, power generation, etc. to your pals. Pals work in ways that suit their personalities. However, pals are also living creatures like us. If you forget to give them food and rest, it will negatively affect their motivation.
Supports Multiplayer for up to 32 Players
Palworld can be played alone as well as multiplayer. By forming a guild and cooperating with your friends, you can adventure together towards a common goal. Player Battles will be implemented in a future update.

This game is something else, just keeps setting new records
It was 4K players away from passing Dota 2 on Steams all time highest concurrent player count. Just shy of 1.26 million. Still number 5 on the all time list.
Will they wait 12 hours to tell us it has 6 million players, or 24 hours to tell us they have 8 million players.
They’ve only been announcing sales, not player counts.
Edit, will they wait 12 hours to tell us its sold 6 million, or 24 hours to tell us they sold 8 million?
Seems like they have waited 10 hours before posting about Palworld again.
that would be insane
Palworld this palworld that relax vgchartz lol
I hope Nintendo sees this as a sign to wind up Game Freak and give the IP to a studio that can make a proper Pokemon experience.
MS should really start ramping up advertising this game on Xbox. High potential to sell systems.
For a survival game with 'very' noticeable Ark elements (creatures then dinosaurs doing tasks for you but instead of the player controlling them and using the animals movesets it's them being assigned to the tasks, also picking them up for a firefox as a flame thrower to use them is pretty cool), (technology menu and unlocks is literally the same).
Surprised VGChartz didn't just have 'updated' they had to have 3 separate articles and details.
For an Ark (not PIxark the more kid friendly, Ark + Minecraft combo of sorts and differences) but Pokemon sort of creatures but it's own way of using them 'gameplay wise' not just oh visuals of Pokemon or Breath of the Wild as like whatever people make of connections like the cave and campfire part I was like seriously they had to do that.
I think the game is fine, gameplay wise intriguing.
I do get sick of such similar inspiration/continuation of ideas though. The reason I find many Indie platformers bland or PS3/360 shooters. So many cover based shooters and 1 unique mechanics in them is just hilariously lazy. Yet certain others did do something interesting with them but very very few (getting out of cover, no cover system and all still like shooters used to be, different moveset additions).
Racing games had unique mechanics to them. Nowadays realism and boredom of live services, nickel and diming tracks, cars and more to almost build the game yourself. All for players dreams cars. Some have more content but the roulettes versus individual assets selling ones are different but just as hilarious.
Too much Mario 64/Banjo inspiration. I can play Glover, Space Station Silicon Valley Chameleon Twist and tons of N64, PS1, Saturn (other 5th/6th gen consoles of that experimental or many companies making consoles era) and they are still unique.
Not just Mario 64 moveset expanded or hub worlds (or not that exciting characters, abilities for them) with Banjo tasks it's just boring and makes genres seem weak or revivals being too nostalgic and too repetitive then the broader competition the eras they are inspired by were more competitive and varied in gameplay ideas being experimental.
How devs make me laugh and more sad then impressed.
Looks like we found our Fortnite of this gen.

Because people are interested in this new thing. Look at the engagement in the previous posts.
It's just copy and paste, except with a higher number...
On reddit it is even worse. This is either the best game of all times or the best marketing of all times. I am guessing it isn't the first
crafting, guns, and Pokemon popular? let's combine the three!
