About Palworld

Palworld poster

Palworld is a survival adventure built around mysterious creatures called Pals, and it lets you decide what kind of life to lead among them. You can settle in peacefully alongside these creatures or throw yourself into danger by driving off a ruthless poaching syndicate. Pals are versatile companions: they can fight at your side, labor on farms and in factories, and, more darkly, they can even be sold or eaten. This indie blend of action, adventure and role-playing never lets you forget how harsh the world can be.

Survival is a constant pressure. Food is scarce, vicious poachers roam the land, and difficult choices wait around every corner, sometimes including whether to eat your own Pals to endure. Beyond staying alive, Pals open up the world in every direction. You can mount them to cross land, sea and sky, and put their skills to work making fire, generating electricity or mining ore for a more comfortable existence.

Building and automation run deep here. Assign Pals to construction projects, planting, watering and harvesting, or place them inside factories where they keep working as long as they are fed. With Pals backing you up, even the most dangerous dungeons become tackleable, making exploration and production feel rewarding on PC no matter which path you choose.
