Palworld, the viralsurvival gamethatstirred up controversy(and found plenty of success) on the back of being a Pokémon-a-like - with added guns and factory labour, mind - is now due to become the inspiration for its own generation of clones, according to the head of its developers.

Pocketpair CEO andPalworlddirector Takuro Mizobe X-ed a screenshot of upcoming multiplayer sandbox-survival game Auroria, which appears to be, uh, Palworld in space. OrNo Man’s SkywithFall Guys-like bean-shaped alien companions you can go out and catch, if you’d prefer another X-meets-Y comparison.
“Tencent is already making a Palworld clone game!” Mizobe tweeted (viaAutomaton). “In China, many companies are simultaneously developing mobile clones of Palworld, and the budgets are in the 10 billion yen-range, 10 times larger than Palworld’s…
“Next year, we might see manyGenshin Impact-level creature (or bishojo) raising games… These are incredible times.”

Auroria isdue to land on Steamtowards the end of 2024, offering a familiar-sounding mixture of building up a base with friends, exploring its open world, crafting using resources collected from the environment, and taming the pets and mounts you catch. It certainly sounds a lot like Palworld, but you could also apply most of this description to any survival game released in the last five years or so.
Meanwhile, Pocketpair arecontinuing to update and expand Palworldwhile working on something that could be described as“a Hollow Knight clone with added Dead Cells”. I look forward to Pocketpair claiming they invented the Metroidvania when that comes out.
