DuringSummer Game Fest 2024, we learned that several new features and Pals will be coming toPalworldwith the Sakurajima Update. Honestly, seeing all of these new game aspects is making me itch to jump back into the creature-collecting survival game.
To fit all of the new content, there is a new island for players to explore — A brief clip showed gigantic mushrooms growing on a marshy location with a frog-like Pal croaking on a dock showcased this new area. We also got to see beautiful Sakura trees with pink cherry blossoms near forested paths. It looks absolutely gorgeous.
Here’s everything that was listed for the Palworld Sakurajima Update:

For those unfamiliar with this game, let me give a little background. Palworld was thebiggest third-party Xbox Game Pass game launch ever, with over 7 million players within the first week and a half of the game’s release. It combines the monster-collecting aspect of Pokémon with multiplayer survival mechanics similar to Ark: Survival Evolved. That all culminates in one of the best games for grownup Pokémon fans to play with friends.
When is the Palworld update release date?
The Sakurajima Update comes to Palworld on June 27, 2024.
This is an exciting week filled with several different live streams from various gaming companies. You can keep up with more gaming news at ourSummer Game Fest 2024 live blogrun by Jez Corden.
