Introduction to Palworld
Palworld - Release Date Announcement Trailer
A newly-confirmed day one Xbox Game Pass game coming on January 19 should definitely appeal to fans of the Pokemon franchise. It's been confirmed that the 'Pokemon with guns' game Palworld is coming to Xbox Game Pass, and it's doing so on Friday, January 19. Palworld has been turning heads since it was first revealed, with many fans shocked and intrigued by the concept of a violent Pokemon-style monster-catching game. Palworld features over 100 Pokemon-like monsters that players can catch with devices that look similar to Poke Balls. Once players have acquired said monsters, they can be used in battle, exploration, and to complete tasks around one's base. Palworld looks to blend Pokemon concepts with survival game mechanics, tying it all together with a flashy presentation.
Palworld recently confirmed its early access release date of Friday, January 19, at which point it will be launching as a day one game for the Xbox Game Pass subscription service. Palworld was previously confirmed for Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S, but specific platforms haven't been mentioned in the latest announcement. While fans wait for Palworld's early access launch on Xbox Game Pass, they can check out the latest trailer for the game, which offers a brief rundown of what fans can expect from the final product.
Features of Palworld
The new Palworld trailer gives fans a look at some of the Pal creatures they will be able to capture on their adventures. Players can see them battling, building, working on factory assembly lines, cooking, flying, and more. At one point in the trailer, the playable character even hops on the back of the dragon-like Palworld monster called Jetragon, which they use to fly across the map. At other points, the player character can be seen fighting Pals using various guns, which is one of the game's defining features.
Unlike other Palworld videos, this new trailer ends with a look at some other human characters players will seemingly encounter in the game. These humans have unique designs and seem like they might be analogous to Pokemon's gym leaders or maybe even the Elite Four. However, that's just speculation at this time. Fans will have to jump into Palworld's early access on January 19 to find out for themselves.
Early Access and Future Expectations
That being said, it should be stressed that Palworld is only going to be in early access on January 19, which means it will likely be far from the feature-complete final product that will release one day. There may be some key features missing from the early access build, so fans should keep their expectations in check as they wait for Palworld's early access launch on January 19.
Some have expressed worry that Palworld has bitten off more than it can chew, but fans will get their first taste of the game in the very near future. It's important for players to approach the early access release with an understanding that the game may still be in development and may not represent the final product. However, this early access opportunity also provides a chance for fans to be part of the game's development process and contribute to its evolution.
