Palworld Announces Major Summer Update: 'Tides of Terraria' Crossover with Terraria Universe
Palworld x Terraria collaboration (Image via Pocketpair) Palworld fans have reason to celebrate as a massive summer update has been officially announced. Titled ' Tides of Terraria ,' the update is set to bring a fusion of two beloved gaming worlds— Palworld and Terraria —together in a landmark collaboration. According to a post shared by the official Palworld X account, this crossover promises to deliver a wave of new content, characters, and game mechanics. Palworld x Terraria collaboration announced by Pocketpair - Everything we know so far The teaser post, published on May 13, 2025, and edited at 6:35 am, includes an ominous line familiar to Terraria veterans: 'You feel an evil presence watching you…' —a clear nod to the Eye of Cthulhu boss from Terraria. The visual tease accompanying the tweet shows a glowing demonic eye at the center of the first image, confirming that classic Terraria bosses and aesthetics will play a role in this update. What to expect from the Tides of Terraria update in the Palworld x Terraria collaboration? Players can expect new Pals, islands, and enemies influenced by Terraria's distinctive 2D sandbox style. The visuals in the tweet reveal revamped environments, bioluminescent creatures, icy terrains, and even electrified penguin-like companions. One of the standout additions is a dark, jellyfish-like creature reminiscent of Terraria's corruption biome, pointing to a deeper integration of biome-specific gameplay elements. The tweet also promotes an ongoing Steam sale, giving players an opportunity to grab Palworld at a discounted price. With over 800 likes and dozens of reposts and quote tweets, the announcement has quickly gained traction among both Palworld and Terraria communities. Palworld, developed by Pocketpair, has built a unique niche by combining monster catching with survival mechanics and crafting. The addition of Terraria content not only enriches the gameplay but also introduces a nostalgia factor for players familiar with the pixelated universe of Terraria. It's a bold move that seeks to unite fanbases and refresh Palworld's content offerings ahead of what could be a busy summer gaming season. As anticipation builds, fans eagerly await further details on a release date, the full list of new Pals, and any potential boss raids that could emerge from this crossover. Whether you're taming new Pals or battling pixelated horrors, 'Tides of Terraria' is shaping up to be a game-changing update.

All eyes on fighting game meet Evolution Championship Series Japan
The Evolution Championship Series Japan 2025 takes place this weekend. It is a fighting game tournament where the best players compete against one another in titles like Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8. Its US counterpart will take place later this year. Historically, these major fighting game tournaments have had a lower prize pool compared to their peers like Dota 2 and League of Legends. And yet, there is often more hype around them compared to big-league MOBA or battle royale tournaments. Nothing against those, but fighting game tournaments are the equivalent of seeing double elimination mixed martial arts showdowns – just with fantastical moves you'd only find in kung fu action flicks. Also, video game company SNK is hosting an end-of-year fighting game tournament featuring their own titles – the newly released Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, The King of Fighters XV, and Samurai Shodown – with a grand total prize pool of US$3.5 million. It's taken fighting games a long time to reach this level, with a prize pool comparable to The International or League of Legends Worlds. But they're finally there. Let's hope for a brighter future for fighting game tournaments. Short beats Rockstar Games has released a new Grand Theft Auto VI gameplay trailer showcasing the characters and locales in Vice City. The game will be out on May 26, 2026, pushed back from its original fall 2025 release window. Palworld is patching out various features in its gameplay due to a Pokémon lawsuit. The FTC has lost its appeal against Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard, effectively allowing the now-completed deal to stand. After 19 years, the first Gears of War third-person shooter title will finally be released on PlayStation platforms this August in remastered form. Indonesian developer Game Changers has announced a new title called 1998: The Toll Keeper Story, an adventure game where you play a toll keeper during the late 90s Southeast Asian financial crisis. The upcoming remake of classic Japanese role-playing game Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky First Chapter will be out in English on Sept 19. 2K Games' upcoming action-adventure crime title Mafia: The Old Country will be out on Aug 8 for PC, Xbox Series, and PlayStation 5.

Games out this week Captain Blood is a pirate-themed action game that spent a decade in development hell before finally setting sail this week for PC and consoles. Expect cannon firing, pistol shooting, swashbuckling sword fights, and plenty of pirate shenanigans in a game clearly stuck in the Xbox 360/PlayStation 3 era. Revenge of the Savage Planet is a first-person co-op sci-fi shooter where you jump, shoot, and collect your way across vibrant alien worlds. You'll also gain powers and unlock new areas in classic Metroidvania style. Out for PC, Xbox Series, and PlayStation consoles.

Palworld Developer Has Removed Game Features Due to Nintendo Legal Pressure
When it debuted as an early access game in 2024, the popular action/collection videogame Palworld was an instant hit, but it didn't take a judicial expert to predict that its similarities to Pokemon would invite legal action. That happened about eight months later when Nintendo and The Pokemon Company filed suit, claiming patent infringement. Now, gamers are seeing some of the effects of that legal threat. Pocketpair, the studio behind the unofficial parody, Some features in the game, such as the use of Pal Spheres (similar to Poke Balls in Pokemon) and gliding with Pals have been patched out of gameplay with updates in November and this month. In a blog post titled, "Regarding the lawsuit, changes to Palworld and the future," Pocketpair said the changes "were indeed a result of the ongoing litigation." The post goes on to say: "everyone here at Pocketpair was disappointed that this adjustment had to be made, and we fully understand that many players feel the same frustration. Unfortunately, as the alternative would have led to an even greater deterioration of the gameplay experience for players, it was determined that this change was necessary." Much of the debate around Palworld's existence and why it's facing legal challenges has to do with whether the game itself could be protected legally if it's considered a parody. That may be why the lawsuit is based on patent infringement, focusing on mechanics of the game, rather than copyright infringement. Even with legal action pending, the game's expansion has not slowed down. It's available on PlayStation 5, Xbox consoles and PC, and there's a mobile version still in the works.

You may want to think twice before modding the Nintendo Switch 2
Nintendo just updated it's user agreement and privacy policy, and while almost no one reads those things, this is important: violating the policy could result in Nintendo permanently bricking the console. The updated policy is one more step in Nintendo's ongoing battle against piracy and emulation, but it's also worth noting that the phrasing is different depending on where you live. For US residents, it reads, 'You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with the foregoing restrictions Nintendo may render the Nintendo Account Services and/or the applicable Nintendo device permanently unusable in whole or in part.' Recommended Videos According to Eurogamer, the UK and European clause reads 'Such unauthorised use of a Digital Product may result in the Digital Product becoming unusable.' Nintendo hasn't specified exactly what 'unusable' means, but it seems like it goes beyond a simple ban. Of course, this isn't outside the norm; Nintendo is notorious for its aggression towards pirates, modders, and other things it perceives as violations. The ongoing lawsuit against Palworld is just one example, and that has resulted in the publisher changing several elements of the game that are too similar to Nintendo properties. Many see Nintendo's actions as an affront to games preservation, but Nintendo sees the moves as necessary to protect its interests. In addition to its user agreement, Nintendo's privacy policy has also been updated leading up to the Nintendo Switch 2 launch. It specifically addresses the new Game Chat feature: 'Feature-specific communication content such as video and voice chats may be recorded and stored for up to 24 hours on the User Devices of all users participating in a chat. This enables users to report potentially inappropriate interactions that may infringe applicable laws and/or Nintendo Code of Conduct.' Nintendo can use the recordings to take action against players who violate guidelines. The Switch 2 has a built-in microphone, but the camera accessory is optional. The new policy raises concerns over privacy, especially as the Nintendo Switch 2 is marketed as a family console, but Nintendo claims the recordings are to support a 'safe and family-friendly online environment.'
