Palworld is one of the biggest and most successful games of the year and it’s set to get even bigger before 2024 comes to an end. Pocketpair has done a terrific job frequently updating the game since early access, but they have now shown a teaser of a new mode coming to the game. There is no release date yet, and Pocketpair has posted a correction regarding the release window for when the Palworld PvP Arena update will come out.
It’s an exciting time for fans of the ‘Pokémon with guns’ epic. Pocketpair has recently added a new evil pal called Bellanoir, and leaks have unearthed many more new bosses and pals coming to the game in future updates. Not only are extra pals coming in the future, but the roadmap reveals even more content planned before the end of the year.
Before launch, the developer posted in an FAQ that they were ‘experimenting’ with the idea of a PvP mode. Yesterday we got our first look at the Palworld PvP Arena, and, unfortunately, the update is not coming out as soon as Pocketpair initially touted.
When is the Palworld PvP Arena release date?
There is no release date, but the Palworld PvP Arena update will come out in 2024. Pocketpair’s initial teaser said it would come out in summer, but the developer has clarified that this was a mistake.
On the Palworld_EN Twitter account, the developer posted that ‘In the arena teaser, it stated that the arena would release in “summer 2024,”… This was a mistake and should have stated “2024”‘. You can find the message embedded below.
There’s no specified new timeframe for when the update will come out, but the devs are insisting it will happen before the end of the year and they are working hard to deliver it as soon as possible.
While the lack of a commitment to a summer release may be disappointing, the good news is that Pocketpair has confirmed another big update for the summer instead. In this major update there will be a new island with a new species of pals plus new buildings, weapons, and more.
