Pocketpair has been a big hit with players with Palworld. However, the game could undergo significant changes in the future, as the developer recently hinted.

At the time of writing, 90 percent of Steam players recommend Palworld (view now on Steam). The reason for this is, for example, the diverse playing stylesthat the game offers. Players can choose to live peacefully alongside the mysterious creatures known as Pals, let them work for them, sell them or even eat them – the possibilities are almost endless.

He revealed to Game File that the Arena mode was a kind of experiment, but that he had much bigger ambitions for the multiplayer mode. “My dream is to have a real PvP mode in Palworld I want to play more in the style of Ark or Rust,” said the CEO (source: Game File).
However, it is not yet clear whether and when the game will develop further in this direction.
