More info

Palworld’s core experience is a survival crafting game with Pals you can fight, farm with, or employ in various ways. There is, however, an explicit dating-sim spin-off in development: Pal♡world! ~More Than Just Pals~, which expands the concept into school-life romance with both Pals and human characters. This is marketed as a separate title from the main Palworld game, and it is being developed with its own Steam listing and marketing materials Pal♡world! on Steam Pocketpair announcement. For context, reporting and official confirmations in early 2025 indicate that the dating-sim project is real and actively being pursued, not just a joke Forbes coverage and Gematsu detail. You can expect a setting where you enroll as a transfer student, meet unique pals, and pursue friendships or romance as part of the Palworld universe—even as the main game remains focused on survival and crafting Palworld dating spin-off description.
