The roadmap of Palworld shows what updates and patches are planned for the game next. The community is pleased with what the planning reveals.
What does Palworld show? After the release on January 19, 2024, the team already published a roadmap five days later with what players can expect next. The overview is divided into critical issues, improvements that should be implemented quickly, and a preview of what is to happen in future updates.
Here we show you the roadmap and give an insight into the reactions of the community.
Palworld Roadmap from January 24, 2024
This is the roadmap:
- Critical issues: Some bugs have been identified and reported, which are now being prioritized for fixing.
- Some players get stuck on the loading screen when trying to enter a world.
- Improvements that should be implemented quickly:
- Important improvements to key mapping.
- Improvements to the basic AI of the Pals and their pathfinding.
Updates for the future:
- PvP
- Raid bosses (as endgame content)
- Pal Arena (PvP for the Pals)
- Crossplay for Steam and Xbox
- Various improvements for Xbox features
- Server transfer and mergers
- Improvements to the building system
- New islands, Pals, bosses, and technologies
No data or timeframes on when these changes and improvements will be implemented in the game have been provided so far. The priority is clearly on fixing bugs and issues as well as the AI. In addition, the team writes on Steam:
We would like to introduce you to our roadmap for Palworld.
The sales figures have significantly exceeded the expectations of the development team, and we currently have many issues, partly due to excessive access overload.
We will first address these problems and then work on implementing new game features.
We thank you for your understanding.
Community Reactions
What is well received: Generally, players are pleased that the team finds time to communicate with players despite the surprise success and the associated problems, as well as an emergency meeting. However, one point is repeatedly mentioned in the comments:
“Yes, the Pal AI really needs some improvements,” writes a player on Reddit. Often the AI gets stuck on structures or takes strange paths to complete tasks. There are also opportunities for improvement in transporting items. Player LuminousShot writes: “The transport of items needs an AI improvement. I tested it, and if only single items are on the ground, e.g., a stack of size 1, the Pals only carry one item, regardless of their transport level. This is really bad for ranches and mining outposts.”
Many users in the comments view the priority of the roadmap very positively. MortalJohn says: “Solid communication. Covers everything I personally want from them, in the right order. Honestly, a home run.”
But there are also users who criticize that the term “roadmap” was used rather generously for the few contents shown.
What do you think? Do you like the outlook on the roadmap or have the developers not mentioned something very important?
