Palworld, Pocketpair's sensation, is set to receive a groundbreaking "Home Sweet Home" update on December 17th, featuring an unprecedented crossover with the critically acclaimed indie FPS, Ultrakill. This highly anticipated patch, confirmed for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, and PS5, will also introduce extensive base customization options, promising a fresh experience for creature collectors worldwide. The news arrives as developer Pocketpair continues to navigate a high-profile legal battle with Nintendo, with recent developments notably favoring the Palworld creators.

Ultrakill's Ultra-Violent Invasion Arrives in Palworld

The "Home Sweet Home" update's most electrifying addition is undoubtedly the crossover with Arsi Patala's high-intensity ultraviolent FPS, Ultrakill. Players will soon be able to venture through Palworld as either Ultrakill's iconic protagonists, V1 or V2. This integration goes beyond mere cosmetic changes, equipping players with new combat mechanics inspired by Ultrakill, including the ability to reflect bullets off flipped coins and devastate Pals with a new shotgun. This unique collaboration is poised to inject a fresh surge of adrenaline into Palworld's open-world creature collection.

Home Sweet Home: Base Customization Unleashed

Beyond the explosive action of the Ultrakill crossover, the "Home Sweet Home" update delivers a significant overhaul to Palworld's base-building mechanics, allowing players to truly personalize their sanctuaries. Players can look forward to:

  • Vast new base customization options.
  • The ability to change base colors, with a variety of vibrant palettes showcased in the latest trailer.

These enhancements aim to make every player's in-game abode feel distinctly unique and, as the update's title suggests, more "homely." A new trailer for the "Home Sweet Home" update has been released, offering a glimpse into both the Ultrakill crossover and the extensive customization possibilities.

Pocketpair Scores Legal Victories Amidst Nintendo Lawsuit

The continued evolution of Palworld comes amidst an ongoing legal dispute with Nintendo concerning alleged patent infringement. However, recent legal proceedings have shown promising developments for Pocketpair. A key event saw Nintendo's patent being rejected, a significant hurdle for their claims. Furthermore, earlier this month, Nintendo's patent covering the summoning of a sub-character to battle an enemy was ordered for reassessment in the USA. These rare occurrences lean heavily in Pocketpair's favor and could present considerable challenges to Nintendo's lawsuit, allowing Palworld, which had an explosive release in 2024, to continue its trajectory of updates and expansions.
