Pocketpair unveiled an extensive list of changes made for Palworld 1.0, which is now available on all supported platforms. The arrival of Palworld 1.0 came after the open-world crafting game spent two years in early access and took the world by storm.
Palworld’s 1.0 Launch is Finally Here
Given that Palworld stated its 1.0 patch notes initially took 27 PDF pages, the final list of changes is quite a lengthy read. According to the official Palworld 1.0 patch notes, Pocketpair made several changes to the game’s systems. Along with the addition of 72 new Pals, Palworld 1.0 also added two new major zones called Sunreach and the World Tree. Sunreach is a group of floating islands located east of Feybreak Island, with plenty of Pals and crafting materials to discover. After defeating the eight tower bosses scattered throughout Palworld‘s Palpagos Islands, players can access the mysterious World Tree that has been teased since the game’s early access period. The missions and story flow of Palworld 1.0 were overhauled following early access, with each tower boss receiving updated arenas, animations, and a shortened battle time limit from 10 minutes down to just five minutes.
