NetEase and Pocketpair just dropped some big news at Tokyo Game Show 2025: Once Human is officially colliding with Palworld in a full-blown crossover event. Yes, that means your favourite Pals are invading the post-apocalyptic chaos of Once Human on October 30.
Pals Enter the Multiverse
Fan favourites like Cattiva, Chillet, and Chillet Ignis will arrive in Once Human-but that’s just the start. Mystery Pals will also appear on an event-exclusive island map, blending Palworld’s creature collecting charm with Once Human’s creepy deviations and meta-human madness. Expect bizarre interactions too, with monstrosities like the Wanderer bus-creature and Chefosaurus Rex rubbing shoulders with cuddly Pals.
Players can also transform into Pals using special items, giving you a brand-new perspective on the world. Best bit? All collaboration Pals can be unlocked for free. To sweeten the deal, there’ll be exclusive cosmetics, outfits, accessories, and functional items available for those who want to go full crossover chic.
