Palworld Catches A January Early Access Launch Date

Palworld has always seemed too good to be true, given its vibrant world and amazingly absurd premise of inserting guns and survival features into a Pokémon-inspired open-world game. The long-awaited game will arrive early in the new year.

Pocketpair announced during Summer Game Fest, that Palworld will be launching on Steam Early Access by January. A long wait to be sure (especially since the game was last slated to enter Early Access this year), but we’ll take any proof that this game is a real thing because it continues to look bonkers. 

Palworld features a cute world in which players can capture and befriend Pals: legally distinct monsters. Palworld is an open world game that can be played by up to 8 people. You can put Pals to work in your factory, sell them, or even eat the monsters. Combat unfolds as a third-person shooter with players wielding assault weapons and other guns to blast enemy Pals and other threats, or you can use Pal’s unique abilities to get the job done. You can play multiplayer together to explore, steal monsters or items, and trade Pals.
