Palworld News

Look, since Palworld took off, you’ve probably assumed that its creatures would soon soon spawn slightly weird looking merch that may, but probably doesn’t, have the actual blessing of the game’s creators, just as Pokemon’s gang of critters has done for years now. Sorry, but I think you need to actually see some of them.

The Palworld/Pokemon discourse has thankfully died down a bit since its mid-January heyday, mainly thanks to all the Xbox chatter and now it’s just kind of one of the games people are playing. No matter whether you’re busy breeding 2000 Relaxauri or, I don’t know, doing something a bit less out there, thanks to the power of the internet, there’s a slightly unnerving real life costume out there for you.

We’re going to start off with the group of outfits that kicked off my journey into the Palworld costumeverse, which were spotted by someone on the game’s subreddit who just happened to be served an advert from Chinese retailer AliExpress. Hey, it’s a Grizzbolt, a Cattiva, a Depresso, and an Incineram, all rendered via quite tight-looking and human-sized morph suits.

Inspired by a Reddit post (what else?) a Palworld player has managed to breed close to 2000 of the game’s missile-wielding dinosaur Pals and cause about as much chaos as that meteor that wiped out the T-rexes and Diplodocuses of our own world.

Now that the whole Palworld/Pokemon discourse has died down a bit, its legions of players are just getting on with enjoying the game and/or auditioning for the Pal X Games. In the case of one player this has ended up taking the form of breeding a whole bunch of Relaxauri in an effort to prove that people should appreciate the Pal a bit more and casually destroy the game’s world in the process.

“I'd been greatly interested in Relaxaurus for memes since the start, but after seeing a Reddit post lamenting the sorry state of his appreciation, that was the final push I needed to commit,” YouTuber Vash Cowaii wrote in the description of their most recent video. What’re they referring to, you ask? Oh just breeding 1,856 or so versions of Relaxaurus and heading out on a rampage.

To the surprise of probably no one, Palworld developer Pocketpair is struggling to keep up with the game's success, so it's looking to bring on more staff.

We all know the deal by now: Palworld is a ridiculously popular game, so much so that across Steam and Xbox it's managed to hit 19 million players. That popularity has had some detrimental effects too, like the apparently very high server costs that Pocketpair now needs to pay so that everyone can keep playing. Now, it seems like the latest way Pocketpair is finding it difficult to keep up with demand is a serious case of being understaffed. Earlier this week, Pocketpair shared that it's currently hiring staff in all positions, as the studio needs the help in every aspect of development.

"At Palworld, we still have a lot to do, but we are overwhelmingly short of people to join us!" reads a tweet from the Japanese Palworld Twitter account (as translated by PC Gamer). "We are looking for people with experience in any type of engine, so if you are interested in creating a completely new type of game, please apply!" This was followed up with a tweet linking to its jobs page, which is also available in English, so if you're desperate to make Pals that players can give guns to, it seems like you might have a chance.

Palworld developer Pocketpair is pouring nearly a half-million dollars every month into keeping the game's servers up, which it can afford to do because Palworld is a massive hit. But it still needs help in the form of people, and rather like Gary Oldman in Leon, it's looking for all the help it can get...
