Palworld Summer Update: New Pals, PVP Arena, & More

Pocketpair took the gaming world by storm when it released Palworld. Although it bears many similarities to the Pokémon franchise, it sets itself apart from that famous franchise by having unique features. After over half a year since its launch date, Palworld’s developers will add various “fan-awaited” features to the beloved title. So, here’s what we know (so far) about the Palworld Summer Update.

What We Know About the Palworld Summer Update

After the Raid Update, the Palworld Summer Update seems to be an excellent avenue for much-awaited features to this beloved monster-catching title. Below are the things we know about the upcoming content and features:

Palworld Arena

Many Palworld players are quick to reach the endgame. At this point, these Pal Trainers become full-fledged Pal Masters with powerful Pals that help them with various tasks. Soon, these veteran players, along with new Pal Trainers, can duke it out with their Pals in an upcoming PVP mode. Dubbed the Pal Arena, the announcement for this mode showed two Pal Trainers and their teams of chosen Pals in a coliseum match. Although little information is known about this new PVP mode at the time of writing, there might be exclusive rewards for engaging in friendly combat with other Pal Trainers.

New Pals

Palworld announced a host of new Pals that'll arrive at the game soon. At the time of writing, the developer didn't announce the official names of these new Pals. However, these new creatures include a frog in martial arts attire carrying a tick, a meditating dog, and an ostrich adorned with beautiful clothes.
