Despite the massive success, Palworld is self-published by Pocketpair and still technically an indie game. With that in mind, perhaps it should come as little surprise that the devs keep collaborating with indie titles like Terraria and Ultrakill, but some fans just don't understand the crossovers. Pocketpair has a simple answer, though.

"We like them," Palworld communications director John 'Bucky' Buckley says on Discord in response to a fan wondering why these "weird collabs that don't even make sense" keep happening.

Palworld's big Terraria crossover launched earlier this year, and it's pretty easy to see the crossover there – two survival games with a bit of violence in a bright, cartoony aesthetic. The common line bringing Palworld and Ultrakill together is a bit less easy to see, though, with the latter being a bloody FPS with retro aesthetics. Yet maybe the connection should've always been obvious: it's the guns.
