PocketPair announced Palworld: Palfarm, a farm sim spin-off of the uber-popular Pokémon-like creature collecting action game, Palworld. Release date or platforms have not yet been confirmed, but a Steam store page is available, so it’s definitely coming to PC!
Palfarm is set on an island teeming with helpful (and not-so helpful) Pals. With their unique abilities, players will transform the land into a thriving farm by sowing, planting, harvesting, chopping, and fishing. Players can also give gifts and engage their Pals in conversation to increase their relationships.
The island includes a marketplace where players can buy and sell crops and goods.
Don’t expect a cozy farming experience however. This is still a Palworld game, with a dark sense of violent humor lurking beneath the cheery Pals. Pals can raid your farms, and be hunted underground. Combat is a main feature, though it’s unclear if it will be similar to Palworld.
What is similar is the multiplayer support, with Palfarm supporting multiple co-op players.
Though Palworld’s player base has dropped since its incredible Early Access launch over a year ago, it’s still among the Top 50 Most Player Games on Steam. While still in Early Access, the developers have added several large updates, including a major collaboration with Terraria last Summer. The next update will add another indie collaboration, with hyper-violent first-person shooter, Ultrakill.
Palfarm doesn’t yet have a release date, but Palworld is scheduled to exit early access with a 1.0 release in 2026. Pocketpair posted the following message about the release date:
Once again, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the fans who continue to support Palworld and Pocketpair. Your support encourages us to continue doing our best, and motivates us to make the game even better!
We will continue to do our utmost, communicating more openly with you all, to deliver the best gaming experience possible. We hope you will look forward to the things we are working on for Palworld and Pocketpair.
