Palworld has just released a huge new update that teases its upcoming Terraria crossover and adds both Nuzlocke and randomizer modes to the creature capture survival game. There are a lot of changes in the Feybreak update, out now, but the one I'm most excited about is the inclusion of two challenge modes. There's a hardcore mode that effectively functions like a built-in Nuzlocke, making death permanent for both you and your Pals should they fall in battle.
There are also two types of randomizer modes. One mixes things up region by region, so you'll find Pals that make sense for that area, just not where you're used to spotting them normally. The other is completely random, so you'll be able to find any Pal in any part of the map.
The Nuzlocke was created and popularized by Pokemon players and is a great way to encourage new team compositions. While Palworld's version doesn't function exactly the same way – there's no limit on how many Pals you can catch – it should still make runs more tense and exciting. The randomizer is a feature a lot of us have been wanting for a while now.
There's no variation in Palworld – once you've played through the game once, you know what to expect and where. This will mix things up and make each run feel fresh. As for the Terraria crossover, the Feybreak update adds a new sword from the 2D exploring game, Meowmeow .
It's "the first bullet-firing melee weapon" in the game, shooting adorable little cat heads that meow as they careen throug.
