The good folks at Pocketpair, the Tokyo-based studio behind Palworld, finally had time to take a seat, prioritize, and plan ahead, as their games blows up to become a much larger success than anyone imagined.
Pocketpair is promising a swath of improvements coming to Palworld. The only catch? They're not top priority. Instead, the focus is on addressing all the bugs that have been reported after several millions played Palworld in the last week, and the fixes could mean anything from rolling back already implemented changes, fix the loading screen issues, and improving on the performance discrepancy between the Xbox and Steam versions.
Once all the fuss is done and over with, Pocketpair says it will then be all eyes on expanding Palworld and adding a list of features that's more like a checklist of everything that fans have asked them to implement in the game than a roadmap.
Pocketpair candidly admitted that it didn't expect Palworld to get so big so quickly, adding that the studio is "currently experiencing many problems due to excessive access congestion.
It's unclear when the fixes are coming and when the new content will be added to Palworld. However, they are planning to implement things "ASAP", with future updates including the following: PvP Raid Bosses (End-Game Content) Pal Arena (PvP for Pals) Steam-Xbox Crossplay Various Xbox Feature Improvements Server Transfers and Migrations Improvements to the Building System New islands, Pals, Bosses, and technologies Pocketpair appears to have planned many steps ahead. Their initial roadmap looks like something from a game already out in public, not an Early Access title, and it's a testament to Pocketpair's dedication that it already has its eyes set on what's next once the critical fixes are implemented.
