Palworld Trailer Shows Off Four New Pals Coming This Summer

Survival game Palworld, the Pokemon-with-guns open-world title that exploded onto the scene earlier this year because it lets you shoot cartoon animals with AK-47s, has new content on the way. There are more cute animals headed into the game, and you'll be able to shoot them, wail on them, and roast them with flamethrowers to your heart's content this summer.

Developer Pocket Pair released a trailer showing off a few new additions to Palworld during the 2024 ID@Xbox Showcase. Though the trailer is a bit cryptic about exactly what new content is coming to the game, it was clear about one thing: new pals, the animals you can catch and recruit that can aid you in battle or help you build up your homestead.

The trailer shows what looks like a new area to explore that takes inspiration from Japan, including shrines and cherry blossoms, where four new pals appear to live. A couple of those pals also look like they're taking cues from Japanese culture. There's a frog wearing a karate gi, for instance, and a dog or fox that hovers in the air in a meditative pose.

Apart from that, all we know is that Palworld's new content is coming pretty soon--Summer 2024, according to the trailer. There's no additional clarification on what the content update will include or when exactly it'll hit the game, but seeing as Palworld remains on Xbox Game Pass, it's a fair assumption that the new stuff will be as well.
