Once Human brings Palworld's adorable creatures to players in new collaboration

Once Human and Palworld Unite in a Wild Survival–Creature Collector Crossover Event

Fresh from a short break, I’m diving straight into one of the week’s biggest surprises: a festive Halloween crossover where survival shooter *Once Human* joins forces with creature-collecting hit *Palworld*. This limited-time event blends both worlds while keeping every core mechanic intact — perfect for fans hunting for new survival shooter collaborations or open-world creature-collecting adventures.

Once Human’s gritty survival gameplay merges seamlessly with Palworld’s Pokémon-style collecting and chaotic combat systems. During the collab, Pals become both permanent collectibles and optional transformations, letting you experience hybrid gameplay that feels right at home in a post-apocalyptic sandbox. A brand-new Palworld-inspired island also arrives, offering unique collab-exclusive mechanics and lore for players seeking fresh open-world exploration during seasonal events.

The headliners, of course, are the Pals themselves. You can unlock them across all Once Human content and even transform into them using a special mechanic. The new scenario — Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve — challenges you to capture, fuse, and battle Deviations, creating cute (and sometimes nightmarish) combinations by merging Pals, Deviations, and various other creatures and items.
