Palworld’s Massive Tides of Terraria Collab Update Has Arrived (Here’s What’s New)

Many months after it was first announced, the big Palworld x Terraria collab update is finally live! Tides of Terraria brings crossover content to Palworld’s Palpagos Islands, but that’s not all. Today’s update is full of new content for gamers to uncover in the survival meets creature collector game. In addition to a Terraria-themed dungeon and equipment, today’s Palworld update brings in new islands, a fishing mechanic, and much more! The latest patch is available now for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and Mac.

Since it released, Palworld has offered pretty regular updates. Usually, fans can expect new Pals and new areas to explore whenever a major Palworld update arrives. This latest update definitely delivers in those areas, but it’s even bigger thanks to all that exciting Terraria crossover content. Clearly, even with PocketPair working on its next title, the developers have put a lot of work into this latest Palworld patch.

The patch notes for today’s update are pretty extensive, with plenty of new content to cover. This includes a special Terraria dungeon full of materials to craft special Terraria equipment. The Moon Lord boss also makes an appearance, as Pals and players work together to defeat this iconic Terraria boss. In addition, we’ve got fishing and salvage systems, plus three new island types to explore – Tropical, Iceberg, and Shipwreck. And yes, new Pals populate each of these new islands.
