Summary
One of the most popular games this year,Palworld, is set to collaborate with indie hitTerrariain 2025. Pocketpair, the creator ofPalworld, confirmed the news while giving a nod to a different “exciting” update that is coming soon.
Kicking the year off in style,Palworldrolled out in early-access to a scintillating reception on PC and Xbox platforms. In a short time, the monster-taming game broke into the list of the most played games on Steam, reaching an all-time peak of 2.1 million concurrent players. Meanwhile, it also raked in a big sum for Pocketpair, with sales of over 7 million within five days of its early-access launch. Despite all the success, it’s also been a challenging year for the Japanese indie studio that is currently facing a lawsuit from gaming giant Nintendo, on the grounds of allegedcopyright infringement related to the latter’sPokemonIP. In the midst of this legal turmoil,Palworlddevs recently shared positive news regarding the game’s future content.
Pocketpair has announced a surprise collaboration withTerrariadeveloper Re-Logic, teasing a forthcoming crossover betweenPalworldand the highly popular 2D sandbox game. The Tokyo-based developer didn’t share any details about the nature of thePalworld-Terrariacrafting game teamup, except that it was scheduled to take place at some point in 2025 and that more information was on its way soon. Replying to the announcement on Twitter, Pocketpair’s Global Community Manager Bucky wrote, “Bet you didn’t see this one coming.” Several fans admitted being pleasantly taken aback by the news, with one of them saying, “That’s a crossover I didn’t expect.” Additionally, thePalworldstudio stated that “exciting news” related to the game’s next update is also dropping “very soon.”
Palworld’s Terraria Collab Could Add to the Monster-Collecting Game’s Momentum
Since reaching the pinnacle of popularity at launch,Palworldhas been ported to Mac and, more recently, to the PlayStation 5, bringing the survival game to new sets of players. Moreover, Pocketpair has alsojoined hands withPUBG Mobiledeveloper Kraftonto portPalworldto mobile in the future. With the monster-capturing game gradually gaining access to new demographics, theTerrariacollaboration next year seems to be coming at the right stage. ThePalworld-Terrariaupdate will likely bring something fresh for new players on PS5 as well as longtime players on PC and Xbox. Being a highly popular best-selling title itself,Terraria’s huge playerbase may also feel incentivized to check outPalworldwhen the forthcoming crossover releases.
While fans barely know what Pocketpair’s teamup with Re-Logic would entail,Terraria’s history of collaborations may offer at least a vague idea of what can be expected. In the past, multiple hit games have done a crossover with the pixel-art game, bringing themed content to those titles. For instance,Dead Cellsplayers receivedTerraria-themed skins, as part of a crossover in the past. It will be interesting to see how different or how similarPalworld’s crossover withTerrariaturns out to be compared to the others.
