Pocket PairPalworld developers Pocket Pair have revealed their plans for the game’s future after its remarkable rise to gaming dominance, with a roadmap for early access, including PvP, Raid Bosses, crossplay and more.

On January 24, Palworld’s official X account committed to writing their plans for the future of the game, and there’s a lot of exciting updates to look forward to.
