Palworld is set to leave Early Access on July 10th, 2026, and has been in Early Access since January 2024. Since its EA release, it has seen many changes and Pocketpair, the developers of Palworld, have incorporated much of the community's feedback.
With the release day nearing, here’s everything we know about the upcoming changes that are set to be released in version 1.0 of Palworld! Alongside the release, there will be a new region, new weapons and resources, and of course, more Pals!
Upcoming Palworld Pals
Fire Dragon
At the beginning of the trailer, you can see a robed figure being chased by a Fire Dragon Pal. This new Pal looks familiar to Astegon; however, it is beefier and more aggressive. Because it appears at the beginning of the trailer, it is probably a main threat rather than a background villain like some other Pals.
The Martial Arts Panda is seen fighting alongside the player against the Fire Dragon, which tells us that it's going to be a combat partner and actively help you to defeat the enemies. While it doesn’t give too much detail away, with it being martial arts themed, we can expect it to be melee and short ranged.
Only concept art has been released for this new Pal.
Sky Dragon
One of the larger Pals in the trailer is the Sky Dragon Boss, which can be seen in the Sky Islands. It is likely to be a legendary Pal as it is large and looks rather powerful.
Sword Eel
The Sword Eel is a unique Pal that can be equipped and used as a Sword to fight other Pals or enemies.
At the end of the trailer, you can see a large Pal standing behind the World Tree, with its arms around it. Given its size and position at the end of the trailer, it is pretty obvious this Pal is going to be a Raid Boss.
In the trailer, Dupin clones another Pal, so this could be a new feature coming to Palworld.
Giant Whale
At the very end of the anniversary announcement, there was a very short trailer showing the player riding on a Giant Whale Pal as they’re heading towards the World Tree in the middle of the Palpagos. This Pal is larger than other Pals, so it could be an Alpha Pal.
