Palworld Closed Test Applications Opened March 13!

Palworld - Closed Test Applications

A Closed Test for Palworld has been announced in their Official Discord Server! The closed test aims to enlist the help of experienced Palworld players to test, and provide feedback for future Palworld content.

If you wish to take part in the Limited Closed Test, you can do so by answering the form linked below.

Palworld Testing Program Features, Contents and Updates

Bellanoir and Base Management Update

Palworld - Bellanoir Paldeck Top Banner

The recently announced Raid Boss Bellanoir, and the Base Management Update are likely to be included in the Closed Testing Program.

The Raid Boss feature is part of the game's roadmap, but the Base Management Update is something completely brand new. More features may be revealed to the public during the course of the Closed Testing Program!

PVP New Pals
Raid Bosses Level Cap Increase New Areas

Earlier this year, Palworld gave players an Early Access Roadmap, which gave us a glimpse of what the Developers have planned for Palworld.

With the closed test serving to look for players' feedback and testing for bugs, it is very likely that some, if not all of the new features in the Roadmap will be part of the Closed Test.

Palworld - PvP

One of the highly anticipated features of Palworld is the actual PVP Aspect to be included in the game. With experienced players breeding for the perfect Pals, PVP would be a great way to showcase perfectly bred and trained Pals!

The Closed Test may also give players a glimpse of previously announced, but currently unreleased Pals such as Boltmane and Dragostrophe, to test if these Pals are ready to be released to the general playerbase!

The closed test may also get players to test the Multiplayer Raid Bosses, and see if there are bugs or improvements needed before making it available globally.

Currently, the max level in Palworld is 50, but with the game being available for quite some time, more and more players have reached the max level by now.

With the developers looking into adding more levels for both Pals and Players alike, we will also likely see New Technologies, along with new weapons or crafting stations!

It is also likely that the Closed Playtest will be situated on a different area, outside of the Palpagos Island. This would ensure that the playtesters would start fresh, and experience the new content without their end-game equipment.

Palworld Testing Program Dates

Palworld Closed Test Dates Currently Unknown

While the Closed Test Application Form did not mention any specific start date for the testing program, we speculate that the Closed Test will start around April or May of 2024, giving the Developers ample time to sift through the applicants, and prepare the Closed Test for those who will take part.

We also recommend joining the Official Palworld Discord Server to stay updated on further announcements, and other news!
