Auroria: A Playful Adventure, launching July 10th in the SEA region, blends classic survival gameplay with creature collection, echoing the success of Palworld. This new title combines base-building, planetary exploration, resource gathering, and the charming addition of capturing adorable creatures.

Gameplay is a familiar mix of crafting, survival, and base-building, spiced up with hostile wildlife encounters and the key element: creature collection. Players will capture creatures using a ball-like mechanism and train them as companions, a feature strongly reminiscent of Palworld. While details on potential forced labor are yet to be revealed, the trailer (below) offers a closer look at the game's mechanics.

The market for games similar to Palworld might not be saturated, but its success has clearly inspired other developers. Auroria aims to expand on this concept, following in the footsteps of other games like Amikin Survival that capitalized on the initial Palworld hype.
