Overview of Palworld Update 0.4.12
- The new Palworld update 0.4.12 has launched on platforms excluding Xbox.
- Certification processes for the Xbox version of the update are ongoing.
- This patch primarily addresses bugs and balance adjustments stemming from the recent Feybreak update.
Pocketpair has introduced another significant update for Palworld as of December 26, identified as version 0.4.12. This update focuses on enhancing gameplay experiences by refining features released in the Feybreak update, which debuted just three days earlier on December 23.
The Feybreak update brought a plethora of fresh content to Palworld, including the introduction of a new island, innovative gameplay mechanics, and a variety of new items, greatly expanding the game’s universe.
In keeping with its commitment to continuous improvement, Pocketpair has promptly released this latest patch following the major Feybreak update. As of December 26, players on PC and PlayStation 5 can download patch 0.4.12. Key fixes include an issue where Pals would get stuck on oil rigs, as well as a fix for the annoying stagger effect that afflicted characters Bjorn and Bastagor when under attack.
Enhancements in Summoning and Game Mechanics
The 0.4.12 update also brings notable adjustments to the Palworld raid system, specifically addressing the previously challenging Xenolord raid at Level 60. According to Pocketpair’s changelog, the adjustments reduce its difficulty to a more balanced level. Additionally, several improvements related to Pal summoning were implemented. Notably, a bug that hindered players from summoning additional Pals while one was already in play has been resolved, along with fixes for Pals not performing lumbering tasks correctly.
Furthermore, this update reworks cooling tasks within Palworld. A specific bug caused excessive animations during cooling work, negatively affecting players’ frame rates. The developers also addressed multiple crash scenarios and several minor bugs. A representative from Pocketpair confirmed that the Xbox update will be released as soon as it completes certification, although a timeline remains unspecified. Typically, Xbox updates have followed closely on the heels of PC updates.
Since its early access launch in January 2024, Palworld has maintained an impressive release schedule, averaging over two patches each month. While many of these patches focus on fixing issues rather than adding significant content, this consistent rhythm suggests that more updates are on the horizon for this engaging survival crafting game.
