The Tides of Terraria update is now live in Palworld, bringing with it a wave of new content and the long-awaited team-up with Terraria. As part of patch v0.6.0, players can enjoy new gameplay features, find newly added Pals, and see several important improvements throughout Palworld.
Palworld, the open-world survival game from Pocket Pair, made a huge impact when it launched in 2024, selling over a million copies in just eight hours. The game mixes creature collecting, crafting, and exploring, earning it the nickname “Pokémon with guns.” Since release, Palworld has often been updated with new content, and on May 13, Pocket Pair announced a major crossover update for Palworld called Tides of Terraria.
Palworld Reveals Early Access Roadmap
To celebrate its first anniversary, Palworld reveals some of its future early access plans via a roadmap shared for the game's community to see.
The highly awaited Tides of Terraria update for Palworld has now arrived, led by the major crossover with the iconic sandbox game Terraria. This collaboration adds a special dungeon filled with enemies from Terraria and material used to craft six strong new weapons and seven pieces of armor. At the center of this event is the arrival of the dangerous Moon Lord, a tough raid boss that players must defeat by joining forces with their Pals and friends.
Outside the crossover, Palworld's Tides of Terraria update adds a large amount of new content, including PS5-only servers, a fishing system, salvage mechanics, and three new places to explore - Tropical, Iceberg, and Shipwreck Islands. A mission system has been added, letting players take on tasks across the islands. Also, a special story featuring Palworld’s character Zoe has been added, and the new Pal Trust Mechanic now gives rewards based on how much time players spend building bonds with their Pals. Enemy factions now build bases that can be attacked for useful blueprints, and towns have been updated to feel more alive and active.
For progression and customization, the level cap has been raised from 60 to 65, and new buildings like the Pal Surgery Table, Large Incubator, and Fishing Pond give more ways to play. There’s also a Turbulence system for moving through the air, new weapons like the Charge Rifle and Pal Recovery Grenade, and several new skills for Water, Grass, and Ice Pals. The Palworld Arena now includes single-player challenges, rules you can change, and a way to watch matches in multiplayer mode.
Finishing off Palworld's Tides of Terraria update are many quality-of-life changes, gameplay fixes, and bug repairs. These include smoother Pal movement in water, more bounty hunter options, easier-to-use menus, and new skins and goals to unlock. Overall, this update makes Palworld deeper while also celebrating the fun of Terraria through a creative and exciting team-up.
