Remember that game where you shoot Pokemon with machine guns? It just got a super-effective new trailer

Palworld has been given a shiny new trailer throughout the Summer season Sport Fest, with a January 2024 launch window being introduced for the sport. Now, should you’re questioning what Palword even is, let me provide you with a quick introduction: it’s Pokemon with machine weapons. A number of them.

This creature collector can also be a third-person shooter, which is an idea I’ve all the time wished to see in motion, and now Palworld is delivering it.

Gamers will probably be moving into an exquisite world made up of various biomes to gather creatures generally known as ‘Friends’; loads of which bear hanging resemblance to Pokemon’s Wooloo, Lugia, Electabuzz, and extra. On prime of that, Friends additionally possess their very own elemental skills (what a shock!) that we are able to use in battle.

The trailer itself reveals off Palworld’s gorgeous environments, with loads of Friends and an arsenal of weapons on show. You see Friends weilding machine weapons, LMGs, and all types of gadgets, making it equal components cute and unnerving. On prime of that, gamers can construct their very own homesteads, Pal-powered factories, and naturally, crawl loads of dungeons with Friends by their aspect.

The thought of amassing a military of Friends to make use of in battle or have work in factories positively appears questionable, however there’s completely no denying that Palword seems like an absolute blast. I stay up for seeing extra of it subsequent 12 months, however what do you suppose?

This isn’t the one Pokemon knock-off that’s getting traction in the intervening time, both; we lately noticed Cassette Beasts launch for PC and Xbox, and it did extraordinarily properly. The urge for food for monster-collecting video games is alive and properly, and Palworld seems set to capitalise on that adeptly.
