Palworld's developer Pocketpair has announced a new farming spin-off titled Palfarm, which allows players to collaborate with their Pals for agriculture, mining, and community interaction, all with an added touch of combat. Scheduled to follow a life simulation style similar to Stardew Valley, this reveal comes just after Nintendo unveiled its own fishing-inspired game, Pokopia. As Palfarm is still without a release date, it is currently available for wishlisting on Steam. Ongoing legal challenges with Nintendo regarding copyright infringement add to the game's uncertainty, given Nintendo’s recent patent on monster summoning.

What is Palfarm and how does it relate to Palworld?

Palfarm is a farming spin-off from the main game Palworld, combining elements of farming and combat while allowing players to engage with characters and gather resources. It draws from successful life simulation games and is being developed under the shadow of ongoing legal disputes with Nintendo.

Palworld, a unique mix of creature collection and combat, has been garnering attention for its distinct approach to gameplay. The main game features players capturing Pals, which are creatures that can assist in various tasks, including combating enemy Pals, thus enriching the farming experience. The development of Palfarm indicates Pocketpair's intent to expand on this theme, diversifying the gaming experience.
