Last year, we got ourfirst look at one of the next spinoff games from the survivalboxPalworld in the form ofPalworld: Palfarm, a cozy-looking single-player and co-op farming sim RPG that brings players into a more pastoral villager life with the game’s titular Pals. Since that initial reveal, there hasn’t been much new information, and whilea recent interview with Pocketpair communications lead John “Bucky” Buckley doesn’t provide too much additional detail, it does at least set a general tone.
“I think Palfarm is going to be a little bit different than what people expect it to be,” Buckley is quoted as saying. “I saw someone throw around the phrase ‘Palworld Stardew Valley‘ and I would say not really, actually.” He also says that the game isn’t as violent as one might expect and falls more on “the cozier side” of the IP, but he also does promise that it will also have “that Palworld ‘tongue-in-cheek’ to it.”
Other tidbits of note from the same interview include discussion about some of the series’ more popular pals, the promise thatPalworld’s 1.1 update “won’t be super long” in coming, and the “surreal” experience of the game getting a TCG. So all in all it looks as ifPalfarm is still very much gestating, but Buckley does note how development is progressing well; we’ll just have to sit and wait for more concrete details for some time yet.
