Right at the start of the year, Palworld exploded in popularity on Xbox Game Pass - and ever since then developer Pocketpair has been expanding on its Pokémon-like adventure. Well, going off the team's latest announcement, it sounds like Palworld's December update could be the biggest one yet.
Posting out to its social channels today, Pocketpair has announced that the game's December update will contain a new island "about six times" larger than the Sakurajima map - which was added in a previous update. Palworld's fresh play space will be "the largest, harshest, and most mysterious new island" in the game so far.
"The new mysterious island is the largest and harshest in Palworld's history. The island is about six times the size of Sakurajima, which was added in the last major update! Powerful tower bosses and many vicious new species of Pals lurk here. A large amount of new content will also be added."
More recently, we've been covering news on Pocketpair's lawsuit with Nintendo; as the Pokémon owner took issue with some of Palworld's systems back in September. It's nice to get back to some actual Palworld content now though - this December update looks a big one!
Of course, Palworld is still on Xbox Game Pass at the time of writing, even if the developer once considered switching to a completely free-to-play model for its open-world adventure. Pocketpair eventually deemed that path unviable though, saying that it would "require too much work to adapt the game at this point".

Six times the alleged patent infringement 👍
Despite not being that big a fan of survival games, I love this game to bits. I just wish they'd actually support the Xbox One version. It's absolutely unplayable.
And before you comment, they knowingly sold it to Xbox One owners at the start of this year and have hardly done anything to improve it. I own it on Steam, but that doesn't let them get away with a truly terrible console port.
Still, that said I'm looking forward to this update. Time to get the fuzzy menaces back to work on the factory lines!
@Elbow Bro it's been almost 5 years, you've had plenty of time to upgrade 😭🙏
@Edwirichuu lol that's not the point, thanks for ignoring it completely. They could've not released an Xbox One version if they are this incompetent at supporting it. It's on them to provide a working product if they put it up for sale on Xbox One.
