Palworld is filled with monsters with unique designs and powerful abilities, but there's more to them than being appealing battle partners or base workers. These creatures play a significant role in the environments they inhabit, making some fans want to learn more about their roles in the world. To help with that, the game provides players with a Paldeck, a device that provides information about all the Pals in Palworld that have been encountered. There are many interesting entries to read about, but two in particular share a somewhat disturbing implication, one that may directly affect the game in the future.
Players who take the time to read Palworld's Paldeck will undoubtedly read several entries that may catch their eye. Two good examples of such would be 
Frostallion and 
Jetragon, two of the legendary Pals in the game who are feared by many as some of the strongest. Both of their entries mention the strength they carry as guardian deities of the game's islands, but reading along mentions how their existence is set to prevent a calamity. While it states that Frostallion has prevented one disaster in the past, it also says that Jetragon is set to stop another that could come. These entries might be signs leading towards a future Palworld update, which could very well be the case.
What Frostallion’s and Jetragon’s Paldeck Entries Could Mean for a Major Future Update
Frostallion and Jetragon are known as some of the best Pals for combat, but their Paldeck entries share that they're more than just battle partners. Since the two are meant to be guardians who aim to prevent calamities that could hit the islands of Palworld, it makes players speculate as to what could happen that warrants their protection. Future updates could help set up the situation. As for what could be responsible for the disaster that's set to hit the world, here are a few possibilities:
- A new faction that has managed to harness enough influence and power that threatens to destroy all the islands and the entire world
- An impending natural disaster so devastating that it requires powers like that of Frostallion's to put the world in a protected state to weather it
- A new monster that could be considered one of the scariest Pals in Palworld, a creature that threatens to destroy everything in its path if not stopped
Though the examples provided could be potential possibilities for the cause of the calamity, Pocketpair may come up with a different idea. For now, players can only speculate about what it could be or if the developers even decide to use the entries to help set up a 'calamity' update.
How the Paldeck Entries Could Lead to an Important Update for Palworld
If the two legendary Pals were to be used as the setup for the next update, it could finally give the game the story mode several players have wanted for a while. The calamity has the potential for an interesting tale involving not only Frostallion and Jetragon, but also other entities such as the factions that rule over the islands. It could be used to set up events that allow the game to dive deeper into the characters involved, and maybe show how they work together with or go up against the player's character in preventing the disaster. Such an update could turn up the dial on Palworld's open-world gameplay, as the participants in the story are given active roles that could lead to actions that visibly affect the world, making it feel more alive in the process.
Palworld can't beat around the bush with its next major update, as it needs something that will hook people back into playing the monster-capturing title. The entries of Frostallion and Jetragon may be the key to providing the game with more interesting content, but that's only if Pocketpair sees the potential. If the calamity were to be used as the basis for the next major update, then the game may see another massive player spike in the near future.
