Summary
Palworldhas released a new set of Spring Festival skins for five different Pals as part of a new update for the monster-catching survival game. Update v0.4.14, which also includes a number of balance adjustments and bug fixes, is already the second update toPalworldreleased in January 2025, showing what looks to be the start of big things in the game’s second year since its early access launch.
The firstJanuary 2025 update forPalworldarrived just over a week ago. That patch mainly focused on ironing out some bugs in the game, but it also provided some helpful adjustments, like increasing the turning speed of some flying Pals, offering more blueprints at Large Oil Rig chests, and increasing the size of weak spots on the attack chopper.
For this newest update,Palworldis letting players dress a few of their Pals up in skins that are themed around the Lunar New Year, which takes place on January 29. These new skins are Lucky Cattiva, Fortune-Bringer Lyleen, Fortune-Bringer Lyleen Noct, Lion-Dancer Chillet, and Lion-Dancer Chillet Ignis. Players will need to already possess each of these Pals in order to equip the skins, but even beginning players should be able to enjoy the update, as Cattiva is one of the first threeearly-game companions players meet inPalworld.
There are also a number of game adjustments that come with the latest update. FollowingPalworld’s controversial changein how Pals are summoned from December, the new patch ensures that Pals will now attack the enemy nearest to them wherever they are summoned. That summoning change, which switched the old method of throwing filled Pal Spheres to simply summoning Pals near the character, originally sprung up following a lawsuit from Nintendo that claims patent infringement, and many fans speculate that the summoning change was a direct response to that legal action.
The update also makesbases inPalworldeasier to traverse for large Pals, causing them to act in the same way as small Pals and granting them the ability to pass through narrower gaps and avoid collision with objects like ceilings, which should improve their ability to carry out their tasks when assigned to a base. Other changes that have been made to the game include a reduction in power cost for the large electric egg incubator, an increase in the durability of some weapons and armor, an increase in the distance from targets before a reduction in the damage dealt by the Advanced Bow, and an increase in the extraction and production speed of crude oil from the facilities that produce it.
(※You must have the corresponding Pal to equip the skin)
Specification Adjustments
・Pals will now target the nearest enemy after being summoned
・Changed the behaviour of large Pals at bases to be the same as small Pals. This allows them to pass through narrow passages and they will be less likely to collide with ceilings and such
・Added earth element to Mammorest and Mammorest Cryst
・Added water element and the work suitability “watering” to Killamari
Balance Adjustments
・Reduced the amount of power required by the large electric egg incubator and significantly increased the amount of power stored in the battery
・Expanded the range of the target area near the reticle when targeting the same enemy
・Fixed a bug where the stamina of some Pals was different between normal Pals and Alpha Pals
・Adjusted the rewards from large oil rig treasure chest and removed the uncommon plasma cannon blueprint
・Extended the distance at which the Advanced Bow damage begins to drop off by 1.5
・Reduced the amount of plasteel required when crafting weapons and armor
・Increased the production speed of crude oil from the crude oil extractor
・Increased the rate at which crude oil extraction speed increases at the Pal Labor Research Laboratory
・Increased the durability of weapons and armor that can be created with some blueprints (durability of already created equipment will remain unchanged, so it will appear that the durability has decreased at first)
▼Bug Fixes
・Fixed a bug that caused the game to crash when a Pal with four negative passive skills was put through surgery by Dr. Brawn
・Fixed a bug that caused the NEW display in the building UI to not disappear when starting a new save data
