Palworld Launches on PS5 in Japan Amid Nintendo Lawsuit

Pocketpair's game reaches the Japanese market despite ongoing legal challenges from Nintendo over alleged patent infringement.

Palworld, described as 'Pokemon with guns,' has launched on PS5 in Japan, despite a lawsuit from Nintendo and The Pokemon Company.
The lawsuit, filed in September, accuses Pocketpair of patent infringement, though specific details of the alleged violations are not publicly disclosed.
Palworld's PS5 release in Japan comes after its successful launch on PC and Xbox earlier this year, and its recent worldwide PS5 debut.
Pocketpair has announced continued large-scale updates for the PS5 version, indicating ongoing support and development despite legal issues.
Plans are underway to expand Palworld to mobile platforms, in collaboration with Krafton, showcasing Pocketpair's commitment to broadening the game's reach.
