Major update
What happened
The full release expands the world and Pal roster while revising missions, combat, bases, multiplayer and progression.
Major update
The full release opens a new progression arc
Palworld left Early Access on July 10, 2026. The official notes introduce Sunreach, the World Tree, seven smaller islands, new settlements and a sanctuary overhaul.
The main story and mission flow were revised, giving returning players a reason to recheck their current objectives rather than following an early-access route.
Major update
The launch roster grows by 72 Pals
Pocketpair reports 72 new Pals and an official total of 287 at version 1.0 launch. Awakening and Mutation arrive as new Pal systems, alongside mushroom and vegetable cakes and a new attack command.
Palpedia's live catalog is versioned separately and may reflect additions after launch, so its data date should accompany any roster total.
Major update
Combat, bases and multiplayer also change
The official changelog covers combat improvements, Arena changes and broad updates to bases, multiplayer and graphics. It is a system-wide release rather than a single new-region expansion.
Palpedia is updating permanent data and guides around the released systems while retaining visible sources and review dates.
