The Sakurajima roster contains 24 Pal additions: 14 listed as regular Pals and 10 listed as fusion or variant Pals. That breakdown comes from Ishan Adhikary’s June 29, 2024 Beebom roster guide. Pocketpair’s June 26, 2024 Steam announcement confirms that Sakurajima introduced many new Pals, but it does not publish a name-by-name list of all 24. The complete roster below therefore attributes the names and categories to the Beebom guide, while update features and release context come from Pocketpair.
What are the 24 new Pals in the Sakurajima update?
The named roster is made up of two groups. The first has 14 entries presented as regular Pals; the second has 10 entries presented as fusion Pals. These labels describe how the Beebom guide organizes the additions, not terminology that Pocketpair defines in the official announcement.
The 14 regular Pals
| No. | Pal |
|---|---|
| 1 | Selyne |
| 2 | Croajiro |
| 3 | Lullu |
| 4 | Shroomer |
| 5 | Kikit |
| 6 | Sootseer |
| 7 | Prixter |
| 8 | Knocklem |
| 9 | Yakumo |
| 10 | Dogen |
| 11 | Dazemu |
| 12 | Mimog |
| 13 | Xenovader |
| 14 | Xenogard |
In the guide’s structure, these are the standard entries in the Sakurajima additions list. “Regular” should not be read as an official in-game rarity, habitat, or capture classification; it is simply the source’s way of separating these names from the variant group.
The 10 fusion or variant Pals
| No. | Pal |
|---|---|
| 1 | Goriat Terra |
| 2 | Chillet Ignis |
| 3 | Bushi Noct |
| 4 | Katress Ignis |
| 5 | Wixen Noct |
| 6 | Quivern Botan |
| 7 | Blazamut Ryu |
| 8 | Helzephyr Lux |
| 9 | Menasting Terra |
| 10 | Shroomer Noct |
The second group is where the roster’s total can be misunderstood. The guide calls these “fusion Pals,” while the same names may also be described by players as variants or alternate forms. The available evidence does not establish that Pocketpair uses one formal category covering all 10, so the safest description is the guide’s “fusion/variant” grouping.
How does the roster reach 24 Pals?
The arithmetic is straightforward: 14 regular entries plus 10 entries in the fusion/variant group equals 24 names. The number is a roster count from the Beebom article, not a separately published statistic in Pocketpair’s patch announcement. Keeping the groups separate matters because combining them into a single undifferentiated list hides how the source arrived at the total.
It also prevents a common wording problem. Calling every entry a completely separate species could overstate what the source proves, particularly for names that carry a base-Pal name plus a suffix such as Terra, Ignis, Noct, Botan, or Lux. The list confirms that these names are included among the update’s additions as presented by the guide; it does not, by itself, define their breeding rules, encounter tables, Paldeck treatment, or relationship to the unsuffixed Pals.
When did the Sakurajima update launch, and what else did it add?
Pocketpair’s Steam announcement is dated June 26, 2024 and identifies the release as Steam version v0.3.1. Sakurajima was the headline new area, but the update was a broad progression and activity update rather than a Pal-only content drop.
- New area: Sakurajima, the island associated with the new Pal roster.
- New combat activity: an arena in the Desiccated Desert and an oil-rig stronghold.
- Progression increase: the level cap rose to 55.
- Crafting resources: crude oil and Plasteel were added for crafting.
- Raid content: the Blazamut Ryu raid arrived.
- World events: meteorite events were introduced.
- Challenge settings: tower-boss hard modes became available.
These features explain why the roster is usually discussed as part of the Sakurajima update rather than as an isolated collection of creatures. A player checking whether they are on the relevant content version should look for the v0.3.1 update context and the Sakurajima content, not just a single Pal name.
What does Pocketpair’s official announcement confirm about the new Pals?
The announcement says, “Sakurajima is home to many new Pals! Explore and find new species!” That sentence confirms the developer’s update-level promise of new species and ties them to exploration of the island. It does not enumerate Selyne, Croajiro, Lullu, or any of the other names in the 24-entry roster.
For that reason, the two sources serve different purposes. Pocketpair is the stronger source for the release date, version number, island, systems, raid, and other patch features. The Beebom article is the source that supplies the complete 14-plus-10 name list. Presenting the 24 names as if they appeared in the official announcement would give readers a false impression about what the patch notes actually contain.
Is Blazamut Ryu one of the new Pals?
Blazamut Ryu appears in the guide’s 10-entry fusion/variant list, and Pocketpair’s announcement separately introduces a “New Raid – Blazamut Ryu.” The announcement also calls it “the strongest Dragon Pal in the game!” That is a contemporaneous developer description from June 2024, not a permanent, independently measured ranking that should be applied to every later game version.
The two references should not be collapsed into one claim about how the Pal is obtained. The roster establishes that the name is counted among the guide’s additions, while the patch announcement establishes a raid bearing that name. The available material does not verify capture conditions, breeding requirements, Paldeck number, or whether every player encounters it in the same way, so those details should be checked against current in-game documentation before being treated as universal instructions.
Are “regular” and “fusion” official Palworld categories?
Not on the evidence available for this roster. The 14-and-10 split is the terminology used by the Beebom page, whereas Pocketpair’s announcement uses broader language about new Pals and new species without defining those two headings.
That distinction is useful when you search for a Pal or compare guides. A page may call the second group variants, fusions, alternate forms, or use another community label. The names themselves remain the practical identifier, but the category label should be attributed to the guide rather than presented as a formal interface term or a developer taxonomy.
What details about these Pals are not verified here?
The roster answers a naming question, not a complete field guide. Individual locations, spawn conditions, capture methods, Paldeck numbers, work skills, skill levels, and current availability were not independently checked against official game documentation for this article.
The Beebom page does provide extra details for individual entries, including Paldeck numbers, types, work skills, and short discovery notes. Those are secondary guide claims. They can be useful leads for a player, but they should be credited to that guide and confirmed in the current game before you rely on them for a route, a breeding plan, or a resource schedule.
- Use the tables above as a name checklist.
- Do not infer a location from a Pal’s name or suffix.
- Do not assume that a suffix alone proves an elemental type, work suitability, or breeding result.
- Check the game’s current version when a guide’s encounter advice conflicts with what you see in play.
How should you use this list while exploring Sakurajima?
Use the roster as a two-stage checklist rather than as a substitute for location data. First identify which names you are looking for; then verify the acquisition and combat information in a current, version-specific source.
- Start with the 14 regular entries. Mark Selyne, Croajiro, Lullu, Shroomer, Kikit, Sootseer, Prixter, Knocklem, Yakumo, Dogen, Dazemu, Mimog, Xenovader, and Xenogard as the first group in your notes.
- Track the 10 variant entries separately. Keep Goriat Terra, Chillet Ignis, Bushi Noct, Katress Ignis, Wixen Noct, Quivern Botan, Blazamut Ryu, Helzephyr Lux, Menasting Terra, and Shroomer Noct in a second section so you do not mistake a suffixed name for a duplicate caused by a typo.
- Record your game version. The update context is Steam v0.3.1, released in the June 26, 2024 announcement. Version notes help explain differences between an older roster guide and a later game build.
- Verify any practical claim. Before traveling for a spawn, preparing a team, or assigning a Pal to work, confirm the location, type, skill, and capture information from a current source. Those specifics are outside the verified scope of this roster.
- Separate raid information from exploration notes. Keep Blazamut Ryu’s raid reference distinct from ordinary island exploration until a current guide or in-game documentation confirms the acquisition path you intend to use.
Why do the update’s level cap and new systems matter when tracking the roster?
The level-cap increase to 55 changes the progression context in which players meet the new content. Crude oil and Plasteel add new crafting goals, while the arena, oil-rig stronghold, meteorite events, and tower-boss hard modes create activities beyond simply filling a Pal list.
Those systems are relevant to roster planning because a player may be exploring Sakurajima while also preparing for stronger encounters or new production requirements. They do not, however, change the arithmetic of the named roster: the guide still presents 14 regular entries and 10 fusion/variant entries. Keeping content context and roster evidence separate makes it easier to tell which statement comes from the official patch announcement and which comes from the secondary list.
Which source should you cite for the 24-name list?
Cite Ishan Adhikary’s Beebom article, “All 24 New Pals Added in Palworld Sakurajima Update,” dated June 29, 2024, for the complete names and the 14-plus-10 organization. Cite Pocketpair’s Steam announcement, “Major update! Sakurajima v0.3.1.: New area, Pals, buildings and more!”, dated June 26, 2024, for the update date, version, island, level cap, crafting additions, raid, events, and tower-boss hard modes.
This source split is more precise than attributing every statement to the patch notes. The official post establishes that Sakurajima contains many new Pals, but the named 24-entry inventory comes from the Beebom guide. If you publish individual Pal stats or locations, identify them as guide information unless you have a current official confirmation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the 10 fusion Pals guaranteed to be separate species?
The roster counts them as additions, but the available source does not define whether every entry is a wholly separate species, an alternate form, or another game mechanic. Treat the names as the guide’s listed entries and verify their in-game handling before drawing conclusions about breeding or Paldeck organization.
Can I use this list to find each Pal’s exact location?
No. The list identifies the names, while exact spawn locations and capture conditions were not verified here. A location guide should be checked for the current game version rather than inferred from this roster.
Does the Sakurajima announcement list Paldeck numbers or work skills?
No. Pocketpair’s announcement provides update context and a general statement about new Pals, not individual Pal statistics. The Beebom guide is the source for the extra Paldeck, type, work-skill, and discovery details it reports.
Should I describe Blazamut Ryu as the strongest Dragon Pal today?
Only with attribution and a date. Pocketpair described it as “the strongest Dragon Pal in the game” in the June 26, 2024 announcement; that developer statement should not be treated as an evergreen ranking for every later version.
