Does Palworld have a new Hardcore mode? Learn more about it and find out the challenges it can bring along with it for players.
Palworld announced its latest update for the entire fanbase. The developers promised to add new content to the game, including a new location called Feybreak Island. This new update promises interesting changes to the existing game e.g. a Hardcore mode.
You will find this option in various survival games. After several months of access to the community, it has been finally added to Palworld with a few tweaks to the usual setting.
There is not much information present on this topic as of now but the patch notes for the latest update revealed that this mode will have Permanent Death. This means that once the main character dies, the game is over and you would have to start anew.
This mode dropped to the game on the 23rd of December, 2024. There were many other updates along with it, but survival game fans must be happy seeing this mode particularly.
Before You Enable the Hardcore Mode in Palworld
You can enable the Hardcore setting in the Options menu. We suggest that you make a new world for it even if the game lets you switch to it in your main world. This is because a bad, experimental move may ruin the world that you have already built.
Moreover, the game mode doesn’t change much apart from enabling permadeath. We don’t have much information on whether the pals will become more aggressive towards you. But we do know that you would have to pay extra attention to your health and survival.
There are new additions to the game, like Predator Pals, who make your exploration a bit difficult. Not to forget the brand new Bounty system brought to the game to let you hunt down rogue NPCs. These major changes combined with the Hardcore mode can truly amp up the immersion of the game.
I think this new mode couldn’t have come to Palworld at a better time! Will you be playing the game in Hardcore mode? Let us know in the comments below.
