Developer and publisher Pocketpair has released a set of seriously spooky Palworld Halloween skins, with four of the game's Pals getting terrifying new looks just in time for tomorrow's scarefest.
The update sees Cattiva, Croajiro, Katress, and Pengullet getting different Halloween-themed looks, although in the case of Pengullet, the new skin might be stretching the definition of Halloween a touch.
Cattiva gets a new pumpkin-themed skin, while Croajiro gets an adorable-looking witch outfit. Katress gets some fetching spectacles to complement its already-Halloweeny look, and Pengullet gets a pirate costume. I guess pirates are sort of scary!
All four of these skins are completely free of charge, and you should receive them the next time you boot up Palworld, although naturally, you will need to have at least one of the Pals the skins are for in order to reap the benefits.
It's not just the Halloween skins that are coming as part of this update, either. The multiplayer text chat character limit has been "significantly relaxed", so you can now type longer messages to your friends.
Bug fixes, including memory leak patches and a fix for a strange PS5-specific issue wherein a tree would respawn inside a structure that's built over it, have also been implemented. The update is free to download now, so make sure you check it out.
If you're not familiar with Palworld, it's an open-world survival game with a focus on creature-collecting and base-building.
Developed by Japanese studio Pocketpair, the game was released earlier this year to massive success, passing the 25 million player mark just a month or so after its release (although a day-one Game Pass release certainly didn't hurt those numbers).
The game has been remarked upon for its creatures' apparent resemblance to Nintendo's Pokemon franchise, and Nintendo itself has also apparently been taking notice; the gaming giant is suing Pocketpair for "patent infringement".
Palworld is available right now on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation 5, and you can play it as part of Xbox Game Pass if you're a subscriber. A mobile version is also apparently in development at PUBG publisher Krafton.
