Palworld News

In an interview with ASCII Japan, translated into English by Automaton Media, Pocketpair CEO Takuro Mizobe was asked about the future of open world creature-collector Palworld, and whether it would make sense to transition to a live-service model...

TL;DR - We are not changing our game's business model, it will remain buy-to-play and not f2p or GaaS.

Recently, an article was published in which we discussed the possible future direction of Palworld and ideas for continuing the game for a long time.

In fact, this interview was conducted several months ago. At that time, we were still considering the best way forward for Palworld to create a long-lasting game that continues to grow. We are still discussing this internally, as it is quite challenging to find the ideal path, but we have already decided that the F2P/GaaS approach is not suitable for us.

Palworld was never designed with that model in mind, and it would require too much work to adapt the game at this point. Additionally, we are very aware that this just isn't what our players want, and we always put our players first.

We are still considering skins and DLC for Palworld in future as a means to support development, but we will discuss this with you all again as we get closer to that point. For now, our priority remains making Palworld the best game possible.

We apologize for any concern this may have caused, and we hope this clarifies our position.

Thank you for your continued support of Palworld.

A PS5 port of Palworld - that hit from earlier this year that got everyone realky into or really angry about the idsrea of Pokemon with guns for a hot minute - has been the subject of speculation for a good while now. The latyest potential hint that it could actually be coming? A listing for this year's Tokyo Game Show.

This certainly isn't the first time chatter about Palworld possibly rocking up on Sony's consoles has popped up, with what many interpreted as a Twitter tease of it from Palworld community manager Bucky back in June having prompted some hope, and Pocketpair itself not having ruled out maybe brining the game to more platforms.

The latest potential hint at Palworld hitting PlayStation is a listing on the Japanese Computer Entertainment Supplier's Association (CESA)'s record of games scheduled to show up at 2024's Tokyo Game Show, which is set to kick off on September 26.
