Palworld - World Tree

Pocketpair’s Palworld has big plans ahead between co-op cross-platform play, world transfer for Pals, and further collaboration content with Re-Logic’s Terraria. However, the most intriguing aspect is perhaps the ending scenario, dubbed the “World Tree.”

Though its release date is unknown, community manager John Buckley told Eurogamer that it’s been “mapped out for quite some time.” “The World Tree, where the ‘ending’ takes place, has been visible since day one.

“Many players suspected their journey would end there, and we’ve been asked repeatedly about when the World Tree will become available so we’re pretty excited to finally be opening the area up for players!”

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Palworld will end (lawsuit from Nintendo notwithstanding). “While the World Tree will mark the conclusion of this particular journey, it’s by no means the end of Palworld,” says Buckley. So even if it isn’t necessarily an “ending,” he can’t “think of a better” term currently.

Regarding other content, Buckley admitted, “We might have announced the Terraria collaboration a bit prematurely, but everyone, including Re-Logic, was so excited that we thought it’d be fun to share early!” The first piece of content – Meowmere, a sword that fires bullets – launched with the Feybreak update.

Palworld is available in early access for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Check out our review of the launch version, though it’s received numerous updates ever since. The most recent patch added Spring Festival skins to five Pals alongside quality of life improvements like summoned Pals attacking the nearest enemy, less Plasteel needed when crafting gear and weapons, and more.
