Palworld lead gently reminds players the next update is not "massive," since "mammoth sized 1.0" is still a long way off: "I think you've misunderstood"

Palworld developer Pocketpair will soon release the monster-catcher's 1.0 version after two years thriving in early access – but not until 2026, OK? So communications director and Pocketpair publishing manager John "Bucky" Buckley would like you to relax, please!

"Maybe I should push out the 1.0 explanation video again across the entire Palworld community?" Buckley writes in a November 24 post on Twitter. "Seeing a lot of comments on the Home Sweet Home trailer thinking it's gonna be a massive update."
