Pocketpair dropped a new developer update video today, and while it was framed as a quiet “state of the game,” there’s nothing quiet about what’s coming for Palworld. In the face of Nintendo’s ongoing patent infringement litigation, the team is pushing full steam ahead towards 1.0 — and for fans like my son (who asks me daily about this), we finally got confirmation: we are going to the World Tree in 2026.
The published video doesn't confirm the World Tree, but this Twitter exchange did, when someone asked Pocketpair’s Communications Director, Bucky, the one-million-dollar question of whether the world tree would be released at 1.0. Bucky’s reply was as direct as it gets: “yes.”
