Palworld Sakurajima v0.3.1 Patch Notes – New Island, Pals, Features, and More!

The long awaited Sakurajima patch has been released for Palworld! Not only does it add a brand new island to explore, but this massive update brings also plenty of other things to be excited about — new Pals to catch, a new PvP mode, increased level cap, a new Raid, and much more.

If you need some help with some of the new content that got added, we have guides like:

  • How to Lockpick
    • This is the patch’s new mechanic to bypass using keys, but it involves a couple of steps and a minigame.
  • Where to Find Meteorite Fragments
    • The new resource, currently mostly used for saddles, but will now be a recurring event in the world.
  • Where to Find & Spend Dog Coins
    • The new currency, used to unlock valuable permanent upgrades by visiting specialized merchants that the game does not do as good of a job explaining to you.
  • How to Catch Mimog
    • One of the new Pals that is particularly elusive (and will also help you stock up on the Dog Coins!)

I'm a huge gamer who especially loves the Final Fantasy series. I will play just about any game, especially if it has anything resembling a Dragoon.
