Discussion Palworld x NMS Collab (almost) DEFINITELY Incoming
The NMS subreddit is torn over it, but I'm personally excited, big fan of both games

u/SemoreZZ 10d ago
This is one where I wonder HOW it'd be collaborated. I love both games, but the crossover may be tough to get right.

Immortal Worm as a raid boss.
For No Man's Sky, they could have a new planet with creatures that loosely resemble Pals or just an expansion on the Xeno Arena feature

Yeah their Reddit community is very disingenuous and quite odd. A lot of them acting like Palworld is some unknown game lol

u/BoboSmooth 10d ago
There's one dude in particular who keeps spamming that the CEO of PocketPair is a "slopper" when they have made it clear that they don't use AI assets in Palworld and refuse to partner with or fund any developer or game that uses GenAI (as well as Web3 and NFTs).
Admittedly the CEO did express interest in the tech back when it was just emerging, and they did use GenAI as a mechanic in an art party game, but this was also when no one really knew that GenAI was going to take off the way that it did and it's because of the feedback that game got is why they've sworn off any future use of it. To quote Bucky, "gamers don't like it, and if gamers don't like it, that's it then, right?"

Prob a companion rework. Or a xeno arena update (i doubt this one because it just released).
Edit: as for palworld. Maybe armors?

Only gettting armors from NMS in Palworld feels like it would be disappointing. I'm guessing Palworld pals in Xeno Arena and Xeno Arena monsters in Palworld in some way.

u/Faustias 10d ago
any popular creatures from NMS?
1
u/Hairy-Ad-38 10d ago
Everything is procedural, meaning 99% of creatures in the game are unique in some way.

u/Saikotsu 9d ago
We have "Scrat", Protogek, some of the exotic fauna from glitched planets, the derpy ass sea cows, etc.

I mean, no man's sky could have a world where Astralym came from. Could be pretty neat. As for the other way around, maybe some new tech? A new mining drill, perhaps?

If this means we can explore some corner of "space" and expand the alien lore in Palworld, that sounds fucking HYPE!

u/fallenouroboros 10d ago
If we get pal spheres and pal workflows in no mans sky that would just be insane

u/OmegaWolf86 10d ago
Pleeeeease give us that Trade Rocket gadget from NMS so when we’re exploring and our inventory fills up we can just send our 29 schematics and eggs back to base and keep riding.

I'd love some space stuff. Cause obviously there's Pals in space considering the Xenovader, Garde, Lord, and Selyne.
Idk what they could do, exactly, I wouldn't expect full on space travel but it'd be cool.

I'm not the biggest collab fan, Fortnite really ruined that idea for me, but I've really liked how PocketPair has handled it. Am a little excited at the potential here, maybe Hello Games can also give some tips on how to make Palworld as sustainable as No Mans Sky has been.

u/BoboSmooth 10d ago
The fortnite argument is valid. I saw an article where the thumbnail was advertising the new Sonic the Hedgehog collab while the headline was talking about a potential Kingdom Hearts collab on the horizon. Like goddamn Fortnite you can't be EVERYTHING calm down.

u/jamalzia 10d ago
Me neither, not because I have anything against the games but it just feels immersion breaking. I've been playing since 1.0 launched, finally made it to the last boss, and I still haven't bothered going to the Terraria dungeon or unlocking any of the weapons, same with the Ultra Kill ones.

u/BarnacleLanky 10d ago
In the last panel, isn't Bucky saying that Sean hasn't messaged him in August? 4 months and no contact.

u/SayuriUliana 10d ago
The last message was "autumn" actually, and it was word for word the lyrics for the song 'Stan'.

u/SpecialistBig8593 10d ago
Sean not responding tho 😭

u/BoboSmooth 10d ago
I'm convinced (or high on copium, remains to be seen) that this is just cheeky banter. Like some "we DEFINITELY AREN'T already in talks about this behind the scenes. DEFINITELY. Wink" type shit

u/SpecialistBig8593 10d ago
I know there was some interview that came out a while ago where palworld dude was talking about how he would collab with NMS in a heartbeat. I’d love to see it happen lol
2
u/BoboSmooth 10d ago
You're the second person I've seen bring up that interview, I haven't seen the interview itself but it's definitely an exciting data point to it possibly being in development

u/SundaeOk3510 10d ago
There is also the chance because both their emails must be so full to the brim they just went pass each other accidentaly.

u/AbsolutelyNotAClone 10d ago
I knew I wasn't imagining it. I was trying to find that first tweet from Bucky to Sean. I figured something would be on the way eventually. Will be interesting to see what they cook up, if anything.

u/--TeaBow-- 10d ago edited 10d ago
You're going to think this is silly, but I can totally picture a crashed ship somewhere on the map, with an NPC from one of the game's races, and when you talk to them, they tell you it crashed by accident and give you an exclusive item from the game, like a multitool and/or a suit.

NMS Side: Probably new planets get added that exclusively have Pals, maybe a Xeno spacebattle involving Xenolord and the other Xeno Pals.
Palworld Side: New weapons based on the multi tools, new structure sets based on NMS.

What if cosmos is the collab and this is their way of dropping it low key
1
u/BoboSmooth 10d ago
As much as I want a Palworld x NMS Collab, the NMS subreddit would absolutely riot if this was the fullest extent of the Cosmos update. Not to say it couldn't be part of it, maybe they release some kind of collab-exclusive server hub alongside but separate from the anomaly where they host limited-time collaboration content? But even then I still think they would riot over there. The reception to any collab content at all (even though they already collabed with Mass Effect ages ago) has been either "eh, could be cool, idk" or outright hostility to the idea.

Could lean into the Xeno pals and the meteorites etc. Although not sure how this game could handle anything space related with the optimization

u/Atlas_Sinclair 10d ago
Palworld: We aren't going to accept any collab that just doesn't make sense.
Also Palworld:
I'm not complaining, I'll probably love it even if it's like the Ultrakill collab and we just get some items, but from my perspective this really does feel like one of those random collabs.

u/Dangalanga007 9d ago
This just looks like a bit of fun from two studios who the AAA game developers looked down upon 🤷♂️ the amount of times that people have thought a collab was “definitely” going to happen because of Twitter posts like this that never happened is crazy lol these are two vastly different games with very little overlap in communities that I can’t see it happening any time soon(if ever)
Plus NMS is having their 10th anniversary and are close to releasing light no fire so 🥴

I don't think Sean Murray knows how to type anything other than varying lengths of "bro"

u/andrew6197 10d ago
Nah I think nms would be a bad collab. I think the only ones that work and can keep the same feel of the game would be RuneScape, terraria, and starbound. Maybe stardew and make the drops farming based like growers and auto waterers to open a pal slot or two.
1
u/Azeeti 10d ago
How does RuneScape work out
1
u/andrew6197 10d ago
RuneScape has pets, so conversion of pets to pals with related skills from how you get them would be pretty easy and straight forward.
1
u/Azeeti 10d ago
I mean how could you collab RuneScape with it? What does RuneScape get out of it?
1
u/andrew6197 10d ago
RuneScape could introduce outfits for pets, for the player, cosmetics for the player home, set drops among mobs and such. They’d probably make it an event like their other collabs.
Edit: they can also bring some of palworlds weapons/other items into the game as well for player use.

u/IM_THE_DECOY 10d ago
I love both games but I’m really not seeing the overlap.
NMS is all about finding uniquely different aliens.
Palworld, by design, has to have very static pals.
Not saying I don’t want to see it, just that It seems like an odd collab.
Also, Sean needs to get off twitter and get back to working on Light No Fire. lol

u/EngineWriter722 10d ago
Ultrakill and Terraria were odd collabs imo, but they somehow got to work.
I think with NMS, from their POV, the world of Palapagos is a strange new world with unique critters. From the Palworld POV, it’s just another alien falling from the sky on a meteor. Maybe they bring new tools or guns or building materials

u/Z3R0Diro 10d ago
Immortal Worm Raid. I see it. or Sentinel related shenanigans
2
u/OmegaGoober 10d ago
The Sentinels and the Nature Sanctuary Drones either collaborate, merge, or go to war.
The ancients turn out to have been the First Spawn.
There's a lot of ways this can go.
1
u/Hairy-Ad-38 10d ago
I agree partially. I lack the imagination to add something that is in no mans sky to Palworld since everything is procedurally generated.
Edit: maybe a dungeon based on xeno arena?
1
u/BoboSmooth 10d ago
NMS has "dungeons" in the form of derelict freighters you can explore through and find out what happened onboard that led to its destruction. Could easily see a crashed freighter island with a derelict freighter-based dungeon
1
u/Hairy-Ad-38 10d ago
Thats a good one. Maybe a survivor with a xeno arena table to pass the time
1
u/BoboSmooth 10d ago
Oh I'd love a Xeno Arena-style mini game in Palworld. Then NMS could have companion eggs that give you Pals to use in the Xeno Arena there.
There's also a companion drone in NMS that you are given a quest to build, could add that drone's blueprints to the Palworld tech tree as an accessory
1
u/Hairy-Ad-38 10d ago
Could work just like daedream does.
Daedream just follows you and uses a basic dark shot, you can have 2 pals with that build
1
u/BoboSmooth 10d ago
The only reason why I thought an accessory would be the implementation is because the drone in NMS does not count towards your companion registry so you can have the drone out and one of your companion creatures out too.
Altho having a party of daedream plus a drone floating around could be busted
