As a seasoned gamer who has seen the evolution of MMOs since their humble beginnings, I must say that the dedication and commitment shown by Pocketpair Inc. towards Palworld is truly commendable. Despite the legal battle with Nintendo looming overhead, they continue to pour their heart and soul into this game, releasing patches left and right.

Recently, Pocketpair Inc. unveiled the substantial Feybreak update for Palworld. Remarkably, the developers appear to be working diligently, as they have just launched another Palworld update on both console and PC platforms.

In essence, this title update primarily focuses on addressing problems that emerged following the Feybreak patch.

Palworld Patch Notes for December 27, 2024Pocketpair names this patch as v0.4.12, and it contains balance changes to the Xenolord Raid, and a short list of bug fixes.

  • Fixed a bug where Pals would get stuck on oil rigs.
  • Fixed a bug that caused Bjorn and Bastagor to become staggered when attacked.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented the player from selecting and summoning a Pal if another Pal was already summoned.
  • Corrected an issue with the Xenolord [Lv 60] raid being stronger than expected.
  • Corrected an issue that was causing summoned Pals to not perform lumbering work correctly.
  • Fixed an issue that was causing cooling work to produce too many effects and animations.
  • Fixed several crashes.

Besides the given list, Pocketpair noted that the patch includes additional minor adjustments to address some unspecified bugs.

2024 will likely mark the final update for the game, but considering Pocketpair’s consistent effort in addressing any lingering problems by releasing updates, an additional patch can’t be ruled out entirely.

In late December, Palworld rolled out its final update for the year, showcasing the successful introduction it made earlier in 2021 on both Xbox and PC platforms. The unexpected arrival of the PS5 version occurred in September, during Sony’s State of Play broadcast.

Despite the success of Palworld, attracting attention and selling numerous copies, developers at Pocketpair aren’t just basking in joy. They are under legal scrutiny as they are being sued by Nintendo, who claim that Palworld may have violated the Pokemon trademark.

As an ardent fan eagerly anticipating Palworld, I must share some insight: If you’re holding out hope for the game to transition into the free-to-play sphere, it might be a long wait. The developers at Pocketpair have made it clear that Palworld will never adopt a free-to-play model.
