The Palworld map is an archipelago called the Palpagos Islands — a clustered open-world of large islands and ocean that Pocketpair and community guides describe as roughly 16 square kilometers in total play area. The map is split into distinct biomes (Grass/Forest, Desert, Snow, Volcano and the later-added Sakurajima island), each containing named regions, faction towers (boss locations), dungeons, wildlife sanctuaries and other POIs; you traverse it by land, sea and air on rideable Pals. PCGamesN’s map guide and the community wiki give a good overview of size and layout. (pcgamesn.com)

For detail: regions vary by recommended levels and resources, and the world includes special areas such as the Rayne Syndicate oil rig and the Feybreak and Sakurajima islands introduced in major updates. Key features players track are:

  • Biomes with level-gated regions and unique Pals
  • Faction towers and Alpha/raid locations
  • Wildlife sanctuaries, sealed realms and dungeons

Pocketpair’s Sakurajima update (June 27, 2024) expanded the map with a new Japanese-themed island, new Pals and an oil-rig stronghold; interactive community maps and guides mirror these additions for explorers. Pocketpair announcement community map examples. (pocketpair.jp)
