Monster capturing, gun shooting, crafting survival game Palworld made an appearance at Summer Game Fest today with news about an update, and it's a big one.

The island comes complete with new Pals, new subspecies, new buildings, a new raid, a new stronghold called the Oil Rig, an arena, a new faction, a new boss, and a raised level cap.

Palworld has seen a since its early access release earlier this year, including new and .
Developer Pocket Pair previously unveiled , and more updates are planned throughout the year. Our called it "amusingly irreverent" and "absurdly difficult to put down.".
