In an unexpected yet fascinating move, Pocketpair's celebrated game, Palworld, has announced a new collaboration with Starry Studio’s free-to-play survival hit, Once Human. This partnership is set to introduce players to a fresh island map exclusive to Once Human, showcasing a vibrant ecosystem where the enchanting world of Palworld comes to life.
The collaborative event, slated to commence on Thursday, October 30, not only enriches the gaming experience but also allows players to explore Palworld-style environments within Once Human's landscape. This exclusive map is designed to bring about a unique merging of meta-humans, Deviations, and beloved Pals, illustrating the creative synergy between the two games.
Experience the World of Pals
A remarkable feature of this collaboration is that players have the chance to transform into Pals and experiment with their distinctive abilities. This dynamic gameplay allows fans to experience the world through the eyes of Pals, adding depth and novelty to the traditional gaming experience.
Among the confirmed Pals making their grand appearance are the fan favorites: Cattiva, Chillet, and the fiery Chillet Ignis. In addition to these familiar faces, players can look forward to encountering a host of unrevealed mystery Pals, designed to keep players on their toes. Notably, all these Pals are obtainable at no cost, a generous inclusion sure to delight the player community.
John 'Bucky' Buckley, Palworld's charismatic community manager, has emphasized that this is a one-way collaboration. He assured that while Palworld content will enrich the world of Once Human, the reverse will not occur; no content from Once Human will be transported back into Palworld.
The decision to launch such a distinct, one-way collaboration underscores Pocketpair’s dedication to expanding Palworld's influence into diverse gaming realms while keeping its core integrity intact. This strategic move not only enhances player engagement but also reaffirms Palworld's reputation as a creative and adaptable gaming platform.
As Once Human is accessible for free on Steam, this collaboration offers an excellent opportunity for new players to engage with the platform and for existing fans to delve deeper into the exotic realms shaped by Palworld’s imaginative universe. Both companies are excited about the potential this collaboration holds for further enriching their respective player communities.
