Palworld’s upcoming arena mode looks like Pokémon PvP with guns

since friend world When it first appeared, it was described as a “Pokémon with a gun.” Pocketpair’s upcoming new mode for the hugely successful game won’t do much to dispel these comparisons. Even based on a 15-second clip, it looks, sounds and smells exactly like the player-to-player experience of Pokémon.

In the creative Palworld Arena you will be able to Pokemon The mate you caught. Pocketpair says you can train your most powerful creatures to defeat your opponents. The brief trailer shown at the Triple-i Initiative indie games showcase showed a split-screen view, for what it’s worth.

At first glance, the main difference between this and Pokémon battle is that instead of standing back and telling your friends what to do, your character will also be involved in the battle, trying to equip himself with an array of weapons.

For those of us who aren’t fans of turn-based combat (*wave*), this could be a livelier, and perhaps more compelling, spin on Pokémon battles. But it does look like Pokémon PvP mode in a different guise. When Palworld Arena arrives this summer, we’ll find out just how similar the two series are in terms of PvP.
