The developers of this MMO have said Palworld is "a game about living a slow life with mysterious creatures or throwing yourself into life-and-death battles with poachers."

The in-game world has been ravaged by hunger, harsh climates and the uprising of illegal poaching. Players should be prepared to do the worst when it comes to surviving.

This is where the Pals come in. These creatures can be caught and tamed. They can also be used to help construct, fight, farm or work in factories. The trailer shows how some of these choices negatively affect the Pals.

Players can also become poachers, sell their Pals, or slaughter them to battle hunger. Palworld feels as if the Pokemon universe is ruled by the mafia. Stay tuned for more details about this exciting new MMO.
