PocketPair has officially confirmed that the next major content drop for Palworld, titled the "Home Sweet Home" update, will release on December 17, 2025. In a twist few saw coming, the update pairs cozy base renovations with the high-octane chaos of an ULTRAKILL collaboration.
The update's title suggests a focus on domestic life, but the headline feature is surprisingly aggressive. This patch introduces a collaboration with the fast-paced FPS ULTRAKILL, bringing the blood-fueled machines V1 and V2 into the creature-collecting world. While specific mechanics regarding how these characters integrate into the game haven't been fully detailed, their inclusion leans heavily into the "shooter" aspect of Palworld's genre blend.
Base Building Gets a Facelift
For players who spend more time architecting than fighting, the "Home Sweet Home" update addresses a long-standing community request: aesthetic variety. The update adds the ability to recolor building materials. This might sound like a minor tweak, but for the dedicated building community, it breaks the monotony of identical wood and stone structures that have dominated the landscape since launch.
What is included in the Palworld Home Sweet Home update?
Based on the announcement, the December 17 patch focuses on two distinct pillars:
- ULTRAKILL Collaboration: Content featuring V1 and V2.
- Base Customization: New options to recolor building structures, allowing for more personalized base designs.
This update continues PocketPair's trend of mixing survival mechanics with unexpected pop-culture crossovers. Players can expect full patch notes closer to the December 17 release date.
