Popular open world, survival, crafting, and monster taming game Palworld has announced an off-shoot game titled Palfarm! Palworld was released through early access on Windows PC and Xbox in January 2024 and for PlayStation5. It eventually became available on macOS in March 2025. Palworld has received mostly positive reviews since its release. Developer and publisher Pocketpair cites several games as inspiration: Ark: Survival Evolved, RimWorld, and Rust, though players might find the gameplay mechanics to feel like a The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Pokémon mash up.
Alongside the announcement, a trailer for Palfarm was released. The reveal of Palfarm comes on the heels of a Terraria collaboration and synchronously with the announcement of an ULTRAKILL collaboration. Palfarm’s announcement describes it as a farming simulation game that is in development by a different team than the one working on Palworld.
The dialogue in the beginning of the trailer seems to imply that the player is working on the farm in order to pay off a debt. Several characters are also introduced. Petallia, the Grass element humanoid plant, is fittingly stationed as a flower shop owner. Anubis, a Ground element Pal, is the master blacksmith and assisted by Sekhmet. Croajiro, a round, frog, Water element Pal, is titled the master of sunbathing and fishes beside the player on a stone bridge.
It appears that like in Palworld, Pals are able to assist the player in gathering resources. Amidst the cheery imagery is a flash of a human figure playing what can only be assumed to be russian roulette. There are also short clips that show multiplayer co-op and the ability for players to get married to one another in Palfarm. The trailer ends with a Pengullet saying it wants to become friends with us, only for the player to capture them. From the trailer, it seems that players will be able to see some of their favorite Pals in Palfarm and live a cozy life with them on a farm.
Palfarm does not have a planned release date, but it is currently available to be added to wishlists on Steam.
