Now, fans have even more reason to be excited: a brand-new collaboration between Palworld and Once Human is on the horizon.
As confirmed on Once Human’s official socials, the crossover will begin on October 30, 2025, bringing Pals into the apocalyptic world of Nalcott.

Alongside the collaboration, a new scenario called Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve will launch. This fresh game mode aims to merge the survival mechanics of Once Human with Palworld’s capture and combat systems, promising players a unique hybrid experience. According to the developers, Early Access is already live, giving players the chance to get a head start before the full event arrives.
This collaboration is another bold step for both studios, expanding their respective universes in creative new directions. For Once Human, which has steadily grown its player base since its July 2024 launch, the event injects fresh content and crossover appeal. For Palworld, the collab is yet another demonstration of its cultural momentum in 2025, following a string of successful updates, expansions, and community engagement events.
With the crossover only weeks away, fans are eager to see how the apocalyptic landscapes of Nalcott will mesh with the colorful and diverse roster of Pals.
What do you think of the Once Human x Palworld collaboration — could this be the start of more crossover events for survival and monster-collecting games?
