Recent off of a barely unoriginal April Fools gag, Palworld, that factor everybody couldn’t cease speaking about earlier than they couldn’t cease speaking about Helldivers 2 has simply recieved a recent replace. Whereas the large factor is the arrival of the sport’s first raid boss, the patch’ll additionally allow you to additional embrace your personal evil bossdom.
Sure, overlook about Bellanoir, the goth lady raid boss who can now be summoned by way of new altars and even comes with an excessive model that is “extremely highly effective and troublesome to defeat”, it is time of Pocketpair to search out new methods to allow you to mistreat your friends in a style that is finging on biting satire. Hey, the sport may endure from an absence of originality, however no less than it is discovering methods to innovate when it comes to Pal distress.
Within the novel-length notes for replace v0.2.0.6, which has already been pushed out on Steam and needs to be coming to Xbox quickly, you’ll be able to learn all in regards to the new raids, which can principally see you battle some recent foes that cant’t be captured, however do have an opportunity of dropping pal eggs if you dispatch them. There are additionally a bunch of recent objects that’ve been added to the sport alongside this, together with coaching manuals that may give friends expertise factors, “Capability Glasses” that’ll allow you to see a pal’s stats, and a “Homeward Thundercloud” that may immediately teleport you to your nearest dwelling base.
There are even some new buildings and kit, corresponding to an undershirt that wards off all temperatures, an electrical egg incubator and an ore mining website in your base. However we’re not right here for any of that, are we? We wish pure, uncut cruelty, and a change that defintely delivers is the actual fact “now you can drive a Pal to work and cancel their break by selecting them up and throwing them in the direction of a facility”. Sure. For those who’re ready to sacrifice their restoration time, you’ll be able to actually chuck your workforce again onto the manufacturing unit flooring.
If it wasn’t simply Pokemon with weapons, I might be tempted to say Palworld may be on par with the GTA collection satire-wise at this level. You can too now drive your friends into sure careers by disallowing sure sorts of work for them by way of the monitoring stand. Once more, no actual world comparisons to be made right here.
Other than a tweak which means “objects dropped by gamers after dying on a devoted server can now be picked up by anybody after 24 hours of real-time have handed”, the vast majority of the opposite inclusions are the standard bug fixes, minor revamps, and balancing changes.
Oh, and Pocketpair says it is “planning a bigger, extra content-packed replace for summer time 2024” which’ll embody “a brand new island, dwelling to many new friends” and a few recent “buildings, weapons, and tower bosses”.
So, there’s your summer time holidays sorted, assuming you truly nonetheless care about Palworld any extra.
