What's New in Palworld 1.0
Palworld 1.0 is the game's largest update, adding an endgame region, sky islands, gliders and a new breeding system.
- World Tree endgame region — the long-standing red barrier is removed and becomes the main endgame zone, home to the main story's conclusion.
- Sky Islands — new floating landmasses with unique Pals, villages and aerial traversal.
- Wing Pack — a glider you equip as gear rather than a Pal, freeing your party slots while flying.
- Genetic Recombination — a new breeding system with direct control over a Pal's traits and abilities.
- A full, structured PvP mode, plus roughly 27 pages of patch notes — the biggest update in the game's history.
