Pocketpair has announced that the next major update for its hit creature-collection game Palworld will be a crossover event with Terraria — which, apropos of nothing, is something Nintendo would never do with the legally distinct (or is it?) creature-collection game Pokémon. The update, titled “Tides of Terraria,” will be released this summer. Pocketpair didn’t reveal much about its collab with Re-Logic’s 2011 indie smash in its press release. Instead, it said it would announce the contents of the update “across official Palworld social media channels over the next few weeks.” But it seems the core of the update will be adding creatures from Terraria to Palworld as, essentially, new Pals. “Catch, train, fight, and work monsters from Terraria just like Pals…?” Pocketpair teased. Official art for the update showed some Palworld hunters facing off against a giant floating eyeball that bears a strong resemblance to Terraria’s Eye of Cthulu boss, plus a horde of the older game’s signature bat enemies. “Tides of Terraria” will extend beyond the crossover content, too, with Pocketpair promising new Pals and new islands will be added in the summer patch. Pocketpair’s partnership with ReLogic is a vote of confidence from a grandee of the indie community in the midst of the Japanese developer’s legal battle with Nintendo and The Pokémon Company over alleged patent infringement, which Pocketpair has sought to portray as an unjust, David-and-Goliath situation. Last week, Pocketpair rather sulkily admitted its disappointment at having to remove ball-throwing and Pal-gliding from the game as a consequence of the court case. المصدر: https://www.polygon.com/news/598779/palworlds-tides-of-terraria-update
