Palworld: Palfarm release date speculation, gameplay details and trailer
Nintendo watch your back!
While Palworld chugs through early access, developer Pocketpair is entering the life sim market with a brand-new spin-off – Palworld: Palfarm.
Announced only weeks after Nintendo announced their own Pokémon life sim, Poketopia, Pocketpair's new title will have players teaming up with their Pals to transform a barren plot of land into a vast farm.
So, when might Palworld: Palfarm release? For everything you need to know, read on.
Palworld: Palfarm release date speculation: When could Palfarm come out?
At the time of writing, there is no confirmed release date for Palworld: Palfarm.
That being said, we think that players can expect the game to release, most likely into early access, at some point during 2026.
Although fairly sparse when it comes to gameplay details, the Palfarm announcement trailer showed off what appears to be a fairly well-polished game, with various areas, seasons, mechanics and more.
As such, it seems as though Palfarm is by no means early on in its development, so it doesn't seem out of the question to expect an early access release in the next year.
That being said, this is pure speculation, and should very much be taken with a big grain of salt.
Palworld: Palfarm gameplay details
Palfarm will combine the Pal collecting gameplay of Palworld with the more laid-back, life sim gameplay of games like Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon.
Players will recruit Pals, gather resources, and plant and harvest crops to sell on for a profit.
Each Pal has its own abilities that will play a role on your farm, whether that's through gathering resources or helping crops grow.
Like Stardew Valley, players will be able to gift certain items to NPCs to dive deeper into their stories as well as to earn rewards. It even appears as though there will be a marriage mechanic, again, similar to how things work in Stardew Valley.
There will also be hostile Pals who can attack your farm, forcing you and your own Pals to defend the farm.
Lastly, like Palworld, the game will be playable both solo and co-op, meaning you and your friends can build your farm together.
