Palworld fans can rejoice as it is finally getting a PvP mode. However, you may be waiting a while before it releases.
Palworld launched with an unprecedented amount of success and continues to have a strong player base to this day. However, to keep it up, new features, modes, and, naturally, Pals need to be added to the game. One of the most requested features is a PvP mode, especially as it’s so crucial to the monster-collecting genre. Fortunately, it looks like one is finally on its way.
Palworld PvP “Arena Mode” Details
A brand-new PvP arena mode called The Pal Arena is coming to Palworld in 2024. This was announced by developer Pocketpair with an accompanying trailer. While details about the new mode are scarce, it will be the game’s very first PvP offering, allowing trainers to battle one another with their powerful Pals.
Currently, Palworld has no way of engaging in PvP despite being a multiplayer experience. Obviously, if you’re a fan of the Pokemon series, this may come as a bit of a surprise. However, PvP was always on the cards, and it’s finally on its way. Players will likely be sent to an instanced location, the titular Arena, in which they can battle other players who are in their world. You can see the announcement and trailer below.
It’s worth noting that the Arena Mode was initially slated to release in the Summer of 2024. However, this has since been backtracked by the developer, and a general 2024 release window has been given. This likely means that fans shouldn’t expect it before late 2024. We suspect it’ll be out in the Fall or even the holiday season in December. Of course, there’s still the enormous mid-year update to look forward to, which is adding a lot of new content, including a whole new island and Pals.
