Palworld Is Getting A New Region And So Much More With The Sakurajima Update

Palworld's massive update, the Sakurajima Update, was revealed during Summer Game Fest, bringing a new region, Pals, and much more on June 27. The update adds a new island, which appears to a have a number of different biomes, with a cherry-blossom forest and a mushroom-filled swamp shown in the trailer.

There will also be new Pals, with a scary ghost and an armored knight shown off. There are also new sub-species of existing Pals. Xbox players will be happy to know that dedicated servers are coming as part of the update as well.

The update will also add new buildings, an increased level cap, a new raid, a new faction and boss, and a new stronghold--the oil rig--which is exactly what sounds like. There is also a new arena being added, which looks like it could be a 3v3 PvP mode.

Palworld is an open-world survival-crafting game that blew up earlier this year thanks to its similarities to Pokemon. While the game does feature different creatures to capture and battle with, it's emphasis on survival and crafting, and some of the shadier ways you can use your Pals, has made it a stand out hit. The game is available in early access on Xbox Series X|S and PC and is currently a part of Xbox Game Pass.
