Palworld just unleashed its v0.6.0 Tides of Terraria on all platforms earlier this week, bringing an impressive wave of new content and surprises to Pocketpair’s monster-collecting, open-world adventure.
This isn’t just a Terraria cameo—it’s a full crossover fiesta. Pocketpair has dropped a Terraria dungeon packed with iconic enemies like the Eye of Cthulhu and the Moon Lord as a raid boss. Clear it, gather rare materials, and forge Terraria-themed weapons and armor. Six new weapons and seven armor pieces teleport straight from Terraria into your Palworld inventory.
Players diving into this update will discover a wealth of new gameplay elements that blend survival, crafting, and exploration in exciting ways. Fishing finally arrives, allowing adventurers to craft rods, catch rare aquatic Pals, or salvage valuable materials from beneath the waves—perfect for crafting new weapons and upgrading gear. And speaking of waves, your beloved Pals have learned to swim, letting you explore oceans, rivers, and lakes atop your favorite creatures.
The update also expands Palworld’s already diverse open world with three brand-new biomes: the sun-soaked Tropical islands, the chilly Iceberg, and the mysterious Shipwreck islands. Each biome hosts unique, collectible monsters, dramatically enriching the monster-collecting experience and keeping exploration fresh.
Combat enthusiasts will appreciate the strategic depth added by the introduction of enemy bases scattered throughout the world. These bases are more than just battlefields; they’re opportunities to snag valuable blueprints and resources essential for your own base-building projects. Pocketpair also introduced new high-tech facilities such as the Pal Surgery Table, Hexolite Quartz Mine, and a Large Incubator, alongside futuristic “Clean” building sets, adding new dimensions to your crafting and base-building activities.
Multiplayer gameplay sees significant enhancements, making cooperative adventures smoother and more engaging. With new missions available across the expansive Palpagos, you can team up to tackle side quests, build trust with NPCs, and even recruit allies like Zoe—who becomes a helpful NPC companion once you earn her trust through completing missions.
The level cap has also been boosted from 60 to 65, accompanied by a deeper trust mechanic that rewards players who spend time bonding with their Pals. This isn’t just cosmetic; stronger bonds grant powerful new skills, enhancing combat effectiveness and versatility across water, grass, and ice elemental Pals.
Quality-of-life improvements haven’t been overlooked either. UI enhancements make inventory management less tedious, and new storage solutions streamline resource handling. Combat balance tweaks and refinements across the board ensure that gameplay feels both challenging and fair.
This update embodies what makes Palworld stand apart—the compelling blend of monster collecting, rich crafting mechanics, strategic open-world combat, and expansive multiplayer possibilities. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a newcomer intrigued by the Terraria crossover, there’s plenty here to dive into.
