The world of Palworld continues to expand with an impressive array of new Pals joining the roster throughout 2025. With the recent Tides of Terraria update and previous expansions like Sakurajima, players have more companions to catch, train, and battle with than ever before. Let's explore what's new in the Palworld ecosystem and which new Pals you should be looking to add to your collection.

Tides of Terraria Brings Exciting New Pals

The Tides of Terraria update, which went live on June 25, 2025, has brought a fascinating crossover between Palworld and the beloved sandbox game Terraria. This collaboration has introduced several new Pals that have quickly become fan favorites.

The highlight of this update is the new dungeon called the Sealed Realm of Terraria, where players can encounter and capture monsters from the Terraria universe. Unlike regular Pals, these Terraria-inspired creatures don't have their own Palpedia numbers, making them unique additions to your collection.

What makes these new Pals particularly interesting is how they blend the distinctive visual style of Terraria with Palworld's gameplay mechanics. Have you tried catching them all yet? The challenge is certainly worth the reward!

New Regular Pals Added in Recent Updates

Beyond the Terraria collaboration, Palworld has expanded its Paldeck with several original new Pals. The current Paldeck now features 163 Pals, a significant increase from the initial release.

Some of the standout new Pals include:

  • Warsect Terra (Number 92b) - A ground-type variation of the original Warsect with impressive mining abilities

  • Xenolord - A powerful raid boss that presents one of the game's most challenging battles

  • Bellanoir and Bellanoir Libero - Elegant dark-type Pals with unique passive abilities

These additions showcase the developers' commitment to diversifying the Pal ecosystem with creatures that not only look distinct but also bring unique abilities and work suitabilities to enhance your gameplay experience.

Fusion Pals: The Evolution of Palworld

One of the most exciting developments in Palworld's new Pal lineup is the expansion of fusion Pals. These variants of regular Pals feature different elemental types and appearances from their original counterparts.

Notable fusion Pals from recent updates include:

  1. Blazamut Ryu - A Fire & Dragon type that serves as a formidable raid boss

  2. Helzephyr Lux - An Electric & Dark type that offers excellent transportation and electricity generation

  3. Quivern Botan - A peaceful Grass & Dragon type with multiple work suitabilities

  4. Katress Ignis - A fiery cousin to Katress with Fire & Dark typing

These fusion Pals add a layer of strategic depth to team building, as players can choose variants that better complement their existing Pal roster or base needs.

Upcoming Pals: What's on the Horizon?

The Palworld development roadmap hints at even more new Pals coming in future updates. Two particularly anticipated Pals that have appeared in promotional materials but haven't yet made it into the game are:

Boltmane

This Electric Element Pal has been featured in Palworld's videos but didn't make it into the early access version. Its lightning-based abilities would make it a valuable addition to any team needing electric-type support.

Dragostrophe

A Dragon Element Pal that has appeared in promotional materials, Dragostrophe looks like it could be a potential Alpha Boss or even a Legendary Pal in future updates.

Would these Pals shift the current meta? It's hard to say without seeing their stats and abilities in action, but their designs suggest they'll be powerful additions to the game.

Finding and Catching the New Pals

If you're looking to expand your collection with these new Pals, you'll need to know where to find them. Many of the new Pals in Palworld can be found in specific regions or under certain conditions:

  • Terraria Pals - Found exclusively in the Sealed Realm of Terraria dungeon

  • Fusion Pals - Often found in different regions than their original counterparts

  • Raid Bosses - Encountered through special raid events that appear periodically

  • Meteorite Pals - Some, like Xenovader, appear only after meteorite crashes

Remember that catching Pals depends on multiple factors, including their level relative to yours, their health, and the type of Pal Sphere you use. Higher-tier Pal Spheres like Giga Spheres significantly increase your chances of catching powerful new Pals.

How New Pals Impact Your Base Management

One of the most important aspects of Palworld is building and managing your base, and the new Pals bring fresh opportunities for optimization.

Many of the new Pals excel at specific work tasks:

  • Knocklem - Excellent for Transporting (Lv 4), Gathering (Lv 3), and Mining (Lv 3)

  • Sootseer - Great for Kindling (Lv 3) and produces Bones passively

  • Dogen - A versatile worker with Handiwork (Lv 3) and multiple other skills

Have you considered how these new Pals might transform your base operations? The right combination of new workers could dramatically improve your resource gathering and crafting efficiency.

Conclusion: The Evolving World of Palworld

The continuous addition of new Pals to Palworld demonstrates the developers' commitment to keeping the game fresh and engaging. With each update, the Palworld ecosystem becomes richer and more diverse, offering players new strategies, challenges, and companions.

As we move through 2025, we can expect even more exciting additions to the Paldeck. Whether you're a collector aiming to complete your Palpedia, a competitive player looking for the strongest team, or a base builder seeking efficient workers, the new Pals in Palworld offer something for everyone.
