New Palworld update adds the first Raid Boss Bellanoir and a bunch of items and fixes

rockpapershotgun.com:

Pocketpair have released a new Palworld update, Steam version v0.2.0.6, which introduces the monster-catching survival game's first Raid Boss, a gloating Gothy squid-lady by the name of Bellanoir. She'll be available to conjure by using slabs at new Summoning Altars. Be prepared for a tough fight, especially if you opt for the "extreme" version of the boss. Bellanoir can't be captured, but she does drop a Pal Egg on defeat.

This is a chunky update, with a bunch of new items and tweaks to the building system, Pal falling damage, shop prices, player drops on multiplayer servers, and the user interface - for example, you'll now see how many of a Pal you own when you aim a Palsphere at one. You can also now cancel a Pal's break simply by picking them up and throwing them at the worksite - truly, a scene from Dickens. All the new stuff is in addition to the usual bugfixes, fresh anti-cheating measures and quashing of exploits: no longer will you be able to massively increase your attack power while riding Pals under certain conditions.

The developers also have another "larger, more content-packed update" in the works for summer 2024, which will include a new island with new Pals. The announcement post on Steam also touches on hazier plans for new buildings, weapons, and tower bosses. All of which seems consistent with the previously unveiled Palworld update roadmap.

Find the full patch notes below. There's one known post-patch bug: an issue where eggs cannot be placed inside the incubator, which can be fixed by rebuilding the incubator.
