Pocketpair, the studio behind the viral survival hit Palworld, has unveiled its next project: Palworld: Palfarm, a farming-focused spin-off that blends cozy life-sim charm with the series’ trademark edge.
Currently announced for PC via Steam, Palfarm invites players to start with barren land and transform it into a thriving homestead—powered, of course, by the help of their trusty Pals. Each Pal brings unique abilities to the table, from sowing seeds and watering crops to harvesting and crafting.
But this isn’t just another tranquil farming sim. True to Pocketpair’s DNA, Palfarm introduces layers of tension and moral ambiguity:
- Farm Defense: Aggressive Pals will raid your land, forcing you to fight back.
- Marketplace & Black Market: Beyond the wholesome village market, players can also explore a shady underground economy where “suspicious fertilizer” and even firearms are up for grabs.
- Multiplayer Farming: Build, craft, and defend your farm alongside friends, creating a shared community experience.
- Relationship Building: Daily conversations and gift-giving with both Pals and island residents unlock deeper stories and unexpected bonds.
The game’s description teases a balance between cozy escapism and chaotic survival, echoing the duality that made Palworld both controversial and compelling. While no release date has been confirmed, the Steam page is live now for wishlisting.
Pocketpair is clearly leaning into the cultural moment where farming sims (Stardew Valley, Fae Farm, Coral Island) thrive, but adding its own unpredictable twist. By merging wholesome mechanics with morally gray choices, Palfarm could carve out a unique niche—appealing to both cozy gamers and those who crave a bit of chaos in their sandbox worlds.
Palworld: Palfarm isn’t just about growing crops—it’s about cultivating stories, relationships, and maybe even a little mischief. Whether you’re here for the cozy vibes or the underground deals, Pocketpair seems intent on ensuring your farm life is never boring.
