Palworld’s 2025 Halloween Event Brings Back Zoe, Depresso, and Spooky Surprises

Palworld is gearing up for another spooky celebration, as developer Pocketpair has announced the release of its Halloween update on October 23. Fans can expect limited-time content featuring the familiar faces of Zoe Rayne and her gloomy companion Depresso, along with mysterious new in-game encounters.

This isn’t Palworld’s first dive into Halloween festivities. Last year’s event introduced a set of themed skins — Halloween Cattiva, Spectacled Katress, Pirate Pengullet, and Halloween Croajiro — accompanied by a festive teaser trailer. That update also handed out freebies and fixed several early-access bugs, setting a fun tone for the community.

Now, nearly a year later and with the game’s full release on the horizon, Pocketpair seems ready to outdo itself. The 2025 Halloween event will reportedly feature a richer experience, possibly expanding beyond cosmetics into deeper seasonal gameplay.

Event Overview

• Start Date: October 23
• End Date: TBD
• Featured Characters: Zoe Rayne and Depresso

According to the teaser, players will encounter mysterious creatures dressed as Depresso wandering the Palpagos Islands, while Zoe takes on a witch-like appearance. The event kicks off about a week earlier than last year’s, hinting that this year’s celebration could be bigger and more ambitious — not just limited to skins or Halloween decorations.

Some fans speculate that Zoe’s signature Pal, Grizzbolt, might receive a special Halloween-themed skin, while others expect new seasonal outfits to appear in the Pal Dressing Facility. Of course, the community hasn’t missed the chance for some playful banter — many joke that the event should have been called “Palloween.”

What’s Next for Palworld

While excitement for the Halloween event is high, some fans remain disappointed that Palworld won’t receive a major winter update this year. Pocketpair has confirmed that the team is prioritizing development of the full 1.0 release, planned for early 2026. As a result, the next winter patch will be smaller than last year’s Feybreak update.

Still, the studio assures players that plenty of surprises are in store before launch — and this Halloween event is just the beginning.
