Palworld x Terraria Collab Reveals That The Silliest Sword Is Making Its Way To Palworld Earlier Than You Think

The first glimpse of Palworld collaborating with Terraria has been revealed through a trailer showcasing “Meowmere,” a familiar melee sword from Terraria. The trailer features gameplay of Palworld, overlaid with music reminiscent of Terraria. The Meowmere in the Palworld trailer is visually consistent with its Terraria counterpart, though with a transparent purple-pink blade.

The sword maintains the cat-like face on its rain guard, and when swung, it emits cat-shaped projectiles with a rainbow trail, similar to the Nyan Cat meme that inspired the weapon. Unlike the long-distance projectiles in Terraria, the Palworld version shoots cat projectiles that travel a short distance and bounce when they encounter an object. The inclusion of the Meowmere is meant as a teaser for Palworld‘s collaboration with Terraria, which was announced in November but is slated for release in 2025.

Meowmere Is Just One of Many Items Coming in the Palworld X Terraria Collaboration

There’s More To Come

The addition of the Meowmere in Palworld is just a small taste of what’s to come in the larger Terraria collaboration planned for 2025. This collaboration represents Pocketpair’s first foray into cross-game collaborations, while Terraria has a history of incorporating content from other indie games. Terraria‘s cross-overs generally introduce new vanity sets, which means there could be potential Palworld-inspired costumes. Items like the Pal Sphere and the Paldeck could also make their way into Terraria as summoner accessories or even vanity items.

The collaboration could have iconic items from Terraria in Palworld, like the Minishark, one of Terraria’s most recognizable guns. Given the many boss battles in Terraria, a lot of material could be adjusted to fit Palworld‘s art style. The diverse abilities of these bosses could be adapted into Palworld‘s combat mechanics. Additionally, smaller-scale versions of Terraria bosses, like Queen Slime, could also be added into Palworld in a way that aligns with the game’s cute art style.

Palworld Wants To Stay Despite the Nintendo Lawsuit

Pocketpair Keeps Bringing More

The fact that the Palworld x Terraria crossover is moving forward, with teasers showing the Meowmere, shows that Pocketpair is staying focused despite the ongoing lawsuit from Nintendo and The Pokémon Company. The collab and the new December update coming tomorrow, set to add a large new island, shows Pocketpair is seemingly unphased by the legal challenges. This is also happening after PocketPair brought Palworld to PlayStation.

The collaboration with Terraria is great because both companies benefit from it, but it will also likely bring more players to Pocketpair at a time when they likely need money to fend off Nintendo’s lawsuit. It also shows the level of work Pocketpair is still putting into its game. This collab combines two iconic indie games, starting with the Meowmere and teasing a larger collab set for 2025. With new updates dropping for Palworld and the introduction of the Meowmere, fans are given a taste of what’s to come.
