The official Palworld Twitter account has shared an intriguing new image featuring a player character riding atop a Chikipi Pal, accompanied by the cryptic text "ᶜʰᶦᵏᶦᵖᶦ ʲᵒᶜᵏᵉʸ". The April 25, 2025 post suggests players may soon be able to mount the chicken-like creatures as transportation in the open-world survival game.
Chikipi Mount Feature Teased
PocketPair appears to be expanding Palworld's creature interaction mechanics with what looks to be a new riding feature. The screenshot shared on April 25, 2025, clearly shows a player character perched atop the small, chicken-like Chikipi Pal, suggesting an expansion of the game's mount system.
While larger Pals have been rideable since the game's January 2024 launch, this marks the first indication that smaller creatures like Chikipi might serve as mounts as well. The image showcases what appears to be a fully implemented feature rather than just a concept, though no official announcement or release timeline accompanied the teaser.
What Does This Mean for Palworld Players?
The addition of Chikipi as a mount could significantly change early-game mobility options for players. As one of the first and most common Pals encountered in the game, Chikipi availability as transportation would provide new players with earlier access to mounts, potentially speeding up exploration in the early hours of gameplay.
Veteran players may also find strategic value in the smaller mount option, as Chikipi's presumably lower profile could offer advantages for stealth or accessing tight spaces that larger mounts cannot navigate.
Community Reaction
The minimalist post with its stylized small text has already generated significant buzz in the Palworld community, with players speculating whether this is part of an upcoming update or perhaps an already-implemented feature that players haven't yet discovered.
PocketPair has maintained a steady stream of updates since the game's successful launch in January 2024, consistently adding new features, Pals, and gameplay mechanics to keep the survival crafting experience fresh for its player base.
