Palworld 1.0 World Tree & New Island Region Explained

Palworld 1.0 (July 10, 2026) roughly doubles the size of the game world. Here’s what’s been confirmed about the new World Tree region and the second major island.

The World Tree region

The long-teased World Tree finally takes centre stage in 1.0. The Summer Game Fest reveal trailer showed a major new region built around it, along with new Pals and an ominous new threat. It’s positioned as the centrepiece of the full-release story and endgame.

A second major island

1.0 also adds a second major island expansion. Together with the World Tree area, this is expected to roughly double the playable landmass compared to the 2024 launch — the biggest single content drop in Palworld’s history.
