Palworld Dreams of ARK and No Man's Sky Crossovers — But Pocketpair Has One Important Condition
Pocketpair has revealed that it would love to bring Palworld together with some of the biggest names in the survival genre, including ARK: Survival Ascended, No Man's Sky, and Enshrouded. However, according to the studio's publishing director John "Bucky" Buckley, there's one key requirement before any crossover can become reality: it has to make sense within the world of Palworld.
Speaking about future collaborations, Buckley explained that Pocketpair is always open to working with other developers, especially after the success of previous collaborations with Terraria and ULTRAKILL. He said the team has a close relationship with the creators of ARK, but turning that friendship into a full in-game crossover is far more complicated than simply exchanging characters or items. Integrating dinosaurs, creatures, and mechanics from another universe requires careful planning to ensure the experience feels natural rather than forced.
Buckley also named No Man's Sky and Enshrouded as dream crossover partners. While he admitted these ideas remain purely hypothetical, he emphasized that Pocketpair would pursue them "tomorrow" if the developers could find a concept that fits both games creatively. The studio wants every collaboration to expand Palworld's universe instead of feeling like a marketing stunt, making lore, gameplay, and overall atmosphere just as important as fan excitement.
For now, Pocketpair has not announced any new crossover projects, but the comments make it clear the studio is actively exploring future partnerships. With Palworld 1.0 now complete and the game continuing to grow through major updates, fans can likely expect more collaborations in the future. Whether the next adventure takes players into a dinosaur-filled wilderness, across the stars, or into another survival universe, one thing is certain: Pocketpair is only interested in crossovers that genuinely enrich the world of Palworld rather than simply adding familiar names.
