Pocketpair Sets Palworld 1.0 for July 10, Keeps Existing Saves Intact

3 articles · Updated · Eurogamer.net · Jul 6

Summary

  • 12:30 p.m. Japan time on July 10 is the planned launch window for Palworld 1.0, putting the update at 8:30 p.m. PT and 11:30 p.m. ET on July 9.
  • Existing save files will not be wiped, though Pocketpair said players may get the best experience by starting fresh because 1.0 overhauls major mechanics and adds substantial new content.
  • The full-release patch includes revamped raid mechanics, a reworked story, new locations, base-building additions, overhauled Wildlife Sanctuaries and reworked Tower Bosses.
  • Palworld exits Early Access while Pocketpair is still fighting Nintendo in a patent lawsuit that already forced removal of its Pokeball-like summoning mechanic.
