All officially confirmed for Palworld 1.0 release so far

After more than two years in early access Palworld 1.0 will officially launch on July 10, 2026. A lot has changed since then Palworld took the world by storm back in January 2024 when the game sold over 7 million copies in just 5 days after entering Early Access on Steam. Now the grand total PalworldAn update 's years since its Early Access release is approaching with the release of version 1.0, and several new features have already been confirmed for release.

Announcing a new movie trailer PalworldThe 1.0 release date was broadcast during Summer Game Fest 2026. In this trailer Palworld fans got a look at some new friends along with a trailer for the game's world tree finally becoming an accessible location. The whole range PalworldThe 1.0 launch is still being kept under wraps, but Pocketpair continues to tease a major overhaul Palworld with release 1.0.

The Palworld trademark could indicate a big shift to multiplayer

Developer Pocketpair has a new Palworld trademark, and it's set off a wave of speculation about a shift towards a multiplayer focus.

New pals revealed for Palworld 1.0

Dupin
Grey/Orange Dragon Pal
Little green, black and white Panda Pal
Huge Sky Dragon Pal
Sword Eel Pal
World Tree Guardian Pal

The first Pal to officially arrive in the 1.0 update was shared via a short preview on X. Pocketpair revealed the new Pal, Dupin, as a black and white cat jester with red pom poms on the tips of his ears. While Dupin's Elemental writing has not been shared, it is likely to be a Dark-Element Pal based on its color scheme and deceptive nature, which his reveal post highlights.

Easy to medium hard

Although none of the buddies shown in the 1.0 trailer have been given official names, there are a few newly revealed buddies that players should be excited about. The first new Pal shown in the trailer is a massive gray-orange dragon that resembles Dark/Dragon-Element Pal Astegon. This friend can be seen in a trailer for some kind of fire attack after the player attacks it with their panda-inspired friend, suggesting that the animal may be a Fire/Dragon-Element friend.

The Panda Pal that the player commands to attack the new Pal dragon is also a previously unseen Pal that debuted in this trailer. This panda is much smaller and looks more feminine than a friend like Mossanda. Although this new panda Pal and Mossanda share a green color scheme, it's unclear if this new addition is also a Pal with a Grass-Element Pal or something like a Neutral or Dark-Element Pal.

The most prominent Pal shown in this trailer 1.0 seems to be the massive sky dragon Pal, which the player character fights while flying on his Jet Dragon Mount. This Pal looks Palworld' with a Chinese Loong dragon that has a snake's body and a lion's mane around its head. While this Pal is almost certainly a Dragon Element Pal, it is not confirmed if it will have a secondary Element.

During this fight against Loong Pal, the player summons another new Pal to fight alongside them. This eel Pal resembles a blade of some sort, which is further demonstrated when the player treats it like a sword, even going so far as to unsheath the serrated blade by pulling Pal's head from the rest of its body. Such a Pal eel would probably fall into the Pal category of the water element, but could end up being a red herring for its actual elemental type.

Not much can be gleaned from this Palworld 1.0 trailer regarding this final Pal as it only appears briefly at the very end of the trailer when the July 10th release date is given. However, it seems that this Pal will play a significant role in the endgame content Palworld 1.0 as seen towering over the World Tree with tentacles extended.

World Tree New map area

PalworldThe map expands even further in its 1.0 release, finally giving players access to the World Tree that has been looming in the distance since its Early Access launch. Each new Palworld the update expanded the map quite a bit, with locations like Sakurajima, Feybreak Island, and the islands added in the Tides of Terraria update being some of the highlights. Pocketpair has been teasing the World Tree and its surroundings as an ending area for a while, but it looks like 1.0 will finally allow players to visit the location.

Based on the footage shown in Palworld Trailer 1.0 and developer comments from Pocketpair, it seems Palworld will be almost a completely different game once it leaves Early Access on July 10th. However, while World Tree was planned as the venue for the finals for Palworld 1.0, Pocketpair did not exclude “Palworld 2.0″ release. This means that even more places could be added Palworldmap in update after 1.0.

Do you need to clear your current save when Palworld 1.0 starts?

Despite teasing a complete overhaul PalworldMechanics Pocketpair confirmed in their 1.0 update that players will not need to delete their saves when the update goes live. This is great news for players who have already sunk hundreds of hours into a single world over the past 2.5 years that the game has been in Early Access. However, for the best experience, Pocketpair recommends that players start a new save once in a new world Palworld 1.0, although it is still optional.

fortunately Palworld If players choose to create a new world 1.0, they won't have to lose any buddies they've tamed. The Global Palbox will allow players to transfer their tamed pals between pre-1.0 worlds and post-1.0 worlds, so players won't have to say goodbye to their best pals. Palworld. However, this means Palworld In the meantime, players should probably hold off on launching the new world if they plan to do so when version 1.0 launches, as the release is just over a month away.
