Palworld's getting its first raid, and as we all expected, it's about a magic evil goth girl who can fly

You. Yes, you. You know, Palworld, that thing everyone couldn’t stop talking about before they couldn’t stop talking about Helldivers 2? Well, it’s now set to receive its first raid battle update, and naturally, you’re gonna be tasked with defeating (checks notes) an evil lady who probably shops at Hot Topic.

Yes, Pocketpair’s setting the bar high early, by forcing you to face your fear of people who’re probably into tarot and crystal collecting. I know, The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood is very good and has done a lot to make the actual folks who inspire this kinda mean-spirited stereotype feel a lot less scary, but you and your Pals are probably still in for a tough time.

As detailed in a nice tweet from the official Palworld account, Bellanoir is the name of the new Pal who’ll be at the centre of the raid. She’s decided to lay siege to the Palpagos Islands - which is a bit rude if we’re being honest - and apparently “only the most skilled Pal Tamers stand a chance against her”. So, that’s you then. A solid setup for a raid.

Pocketpair have popped up a trailer for Palworld's first new raid battle boss, Bellanoir, who is "coming soon" to the monster-catching survival game in a big old Palworld update that will also include some fixes and additional anti-cheating measures. First impressions: it's an evil Goth girl with a jellyfish where her legs should be.

Palworld devs want players to help test new content and find bugs

Palworld developers Pocketpair have announced a new Palworld Testing program that asks players of the wildly popular monster-catching survival game to help test future updates and provide feedback on the game, ahead of new content drops being released to the general public. Players can sign-up via a Google Form now if they wish, though Pocketpair stress that "the testing branch is not intended for free play or experiencing new content early, so we hope that only those of you genuinely interested in bug hunting and testing will apply." And presumably, those genuinely interested in also not being paid for their free QA support.
