Palworld and Ultrakill Are Teaming Up for a Brutal December Crossover
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Palworld's upcoming Home Sweet Home update on December 17 brings Ultrakill weapons, the iconic coin toss mechanic, and V1 and V2 character skins to Pocketpair's survival game.
Pocketpair is leaning hard into the chaotic energy of Palworld by teaming up with the retro shooter Ultrakill for an upcoming crossover. Landing on December 17 as part of the Home Sweet Home update, this collaboration brings iconic weapons and character skins from Arsi Hakita Patala's fast-paced FPS directly into the survival crafting game. While mixing a creature collector with an ultraviolent movement shooter might sound like an odd pairing on paper, it fits right in with how many players actually approach Palworld on PC, console, and cloud.
The update introduces weapons modeled after Ultrakill's signature revolvers and shotguns, alongside the game's famous coin toss mechanic. Players can now flip a coin and shoot it mid-air to pull off impossible ricochet shots around corners or redirect damage away from aggressive Pals. Fans can also deck out their avatars in full V1 or V2 armor sets, transforming their characters into blue or red humanoid killing machines complete with yellow angel wings. Beyond the crossover, the Home Sweet Home update adds base painting tools and teases a towering new boss encounter.
This marks Palworld's second major crossover following the Tides of Terraria event in June 2025, offering another sign of industry support as Pocketpair continues to navigate ongoing legal challenges. Alongside this content drop, the studio is quietly expanding the franchise with Palfarm, an upcoming cozy farming spin-off. For the full deep dive into the update details, you can check out the original report on Polygon.
