Auroria: A playful journey adds to a list of burgeoning Palworld-likes

Auroria: A Playful Adventure, launching July 10th in the SEA region, blends classic survival gameplay with creature collection, echoing the popular Palworld formula. This charming new game combines base-building, planet exploration, and resource gathering with the added challenge of hostile wildlife. The core gameplay loop revolves around crafting, survival, base-building, and—most notably—capturing and training adorable creatures, reminiscent of Palworld's creature-catching mechanic. While details on potential forced labor are yet to be revealed, the trailer below offers a glimpse into the Auroria experience.

The Palworld-inspired market, though not massive, has seen a surge of interest following Palworld's success, inspiring titles like Amikin Survival. While a mobile version of Palworld remains unconfirmed, Auroria aims to expand on the creature-collection concept.
