Palworld is Pocketpair's open-world survival and base-building game, which the developers have described as Pokemon with guns. Players capture and train cute creatures called Pals, putting them to work in combat, farming, factory production, and even carrying weapons. Combining Pokemon-style capture-and-collect mechanics with Ark: Survival Evolved-style survival and base-building systems, the game became a massive viral hit upon its 2024 Early Access launch, hitting record concurrent player counts on Steam.
