The world of Palworld is coming to Once Human in a major crossover next month, introducing creatures, an exclusive map, and mechanics in a major collaboration.
Launching October 30, Cattiva, Chillet, and Chillet Ignis are all confirmed to be making an appearance in Once Human, alongside unnamed “mystery Pals” in Palworld-style environments in a world where Meta-Humans, Deviations, and Pals live in coexistence.
The free update includes all collaboration Pals, while there will also be limited-edition cosmetics and products available, including fashion outfits, accessories, and functional items.
Become a Pal With a Special Item
The update will also introduce an “innovative transformation system,” where players can use special items to transform into Pals and explore the world from a new perspective.
The announcement of the crossover at Tokyo Game Show came alongside news of early access for the new scenario, “Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve,” which launches today, with a full launch set for the same day as the Palworld collab debuts.
Palworld’s appearance comes amid a busy period for Pocketpair, following the announcement of a new crossover with Ultrakill, bringing new weapons into the game, and the reveal of Palfarm, a spinoff title focused on farming. Earlier this month, it was also announced that Palworld’s 1.0 version will be released in 2026.
The Pocketpair title continues to find itself in the midst of a legal battle with Nintendo and Pokémon, with the former recently being granted a controversial patent for character summons.
