Pocketpair has teased plans to release a new PvP mode for Palworld.
The facility, titled “Pal Arena,” was unveiled during the Triple Eye Initiative's showcase on Wednesday.
“Pal Arena will advance to Pal World in 2024,'' it said. “Fight other players and pit both yourself and your allies against them. Raise your strongest allies and defeat your rivals!”
Released in January through Steam Early Access and Xbox Game Preview, Palworld attracted 25 million players in its first month, according to Pocketpair.
In a recent interview, Pocket Pair CEO and game director Takuro Mizobe said the company is in talks to bring Pal World to additional platforms.
He also said that Pocketpair is open to considering partnership and acquisition proposals, but that the company is not in acquisition talks with Microsoft.
The Xbox maker says Palworld enjoyed its biggest third-party Game Pass release to date.
Palworld reportedly cost less than 1 billion yen ($6.7 million) to produce and returned tens of billions of yen in profits.
“We are and will continue to be a small studio,” Mizobe told Bloomberg. “I want to make multiple smaller games. Big-budget Triple-A games aren't for us.”
“Games are most fun when played with friends,” he added. “A game without a multiplayer mode doesn't seem appropriate for the times we live in today.”
