Despite its ongoing wrestling match with the Nintendo legal goliath, Pocketpair seems intent on making Palworld even bigger. In a trailer that premiered earlier tonight at the Game Awards, we got our first look at Feybreak, Palworld's next major update that's arriving later this month.
The update adds a still-unnamed new island that Pocketpair teased back in November. Apparently "six times the size" of the Sakurajima region added in Palworld's last major update, the new area seems like it exists in a permanent, golden-hued autumn—almost like Palworld's equivalent of Elden Ring's Leyndell Plateau.
Also revealed in the trailer is a new enemy faction leader that players will inevitably end up throwing their Pals and a healthy amount of firepower at. The Feybreak trailer kicks off with a prolonged battle between that unnamed enemy leader—a shirtless, muscled, bearded man with archetypal berserker vibes—and a wild brawler Pal. After sparring across the landscape and into the next day, the two seem to earn each other's respect, only to be interrupted by a rifle-toting character, who opens fire alongside their Pals.
We also get a glimpse at a new boss Pal: a massive black dragon which emerges from an ominous monolith to slash at the player with an energy-bladed forearm. I'm sure it's friendly once you catch it. Probably.
In addition to the new boss man and boss monster, Pocketpair says Feybreak will add "new pals, new weapons, new buildings, and new mechanics." Palworld's Feybreak update is due to arrive on December 23, 2025.
