What are the Palworld map locations? Pocketpair’s peculiar Poké-like takes place on Palpagos Island, a tropical paradise full of critters just waiting to be caught and put to work. If you’re looking to survive the wilds, then you need a strong sense of direction – or a good map of all the locations and areas in the region. Thankfully, we can help you with the latter.
Pocketpair has confirmed the Palworld map size is approximately 16 square kilometers, and we may well see Palpagos Island expand further as more content is added to the open-world game. Our quest to catch all 100 Palworld Pals is set to take us through active volcanoes, mystical ice caves, and expansive woodland areas. Here are all the map locations in Palworld we know of so far, with more to follow once the Palworld release date arrives.
Palworld map regions
Like most games like Pokemon, we expect that certain Pals will only be available to catch in specific Palworld map regions. Familiarizing yourself with the regions and areas of Palpagos Island also increases your chances of discovering rare Palworld variations, to say nothing of the quests you need to complete along the way.
Here are the Palworld map locations revealed so far:
- Rayne Syndicate’s Tower
- Crystal Ice Cave
Rayne Syndicate’s Tower
Rayne Syndicate’s Tower appears to be the conclusion of the Palworld tutorial. This map location features a boss challenge that demands the full strength and efforts of both you and your Pals, though the rewards are sure to be plentiful.
Crystal Ice Cave
The Crystal Ice Cave is located in the coldest region of Palpagos Island, and as such, it’s largely populated by Pals that can adapt to the harsh environment. We expect Palworld’s survival game mechanics to come to the fore in this location, as we navigate the cave’s biting cold and treacherous paths. However, the cave contains plenty of rare resources to make it worth your while – including ice crystals and rare ore, which can be used to craft new items and equipment.
The large stone beacon that features prominently in Palworld’s various trailers and key art appears to be a major point of interest and is likely to be a focal point of the story. We’ve even spotted a few buildings dotted around the environment, and we wouldn’t be surprised to find larger settlements on our travels.
Be sure to check back closer to the early access release as we gear up to explore the Palworld map. Once you’re all set with the best Palworld starter, why not make exploration a little easier by bringing a real-life pal along in Palworld multiplayer? We’ve also got the lowdown on Palworld fighting and Palworld breeding, so you can get to grips with some of the stand-out features in Pocketpair’s subversive creature collector.
