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 mechanics with creature collection, echoing the success of Palworld. This new title combines base building, planetary exploration, resource gathering, and the charming addition of capturing and training adorable creatures.

Gameplay is a familiar mix of crafting, survival, and base construction, spiced up with the challenge of hostile wildlife. The creature-catching mechanic, reminiscent of Palworld's system (though details on forced labor remain undisclosed), involves capturing creatures in balls and training them as companions. The trailer below offers a closer look.

Following Palworld's success, Auroria aims to expand on the creature-collection survival genre. While a potential Palworld mobile version hasn't materialized, Auroria seeks to capitalize on the established interest. Games like Amikin Survival have already demonstrated the market's potential.

Upcoming Release

Auroria's SEA launch is scheduled for July 10th. A broader release date is yet to be announced, but is anticipated soon. Whether Auroria will achieve similar success remains to be seen.
