Pocketpair Confirms 'Palworld: More Than Just Pals' as a Real Game in Development

Initially teased as an April Fool's joke in 2024, the dating sim spin-off is now officially in the works, with a Steam page live for wishlisting.

'Palworld: More Than Just Pals' transforms the survival crafting game into a high school dating sim, blending romance, friendship, and dark humor.
Players can engage with anthropomorphized creatures and human characters at Palpagos Private Academy, with options to befriend, romance, or even dismember them.
The game’s Steam page is now live, confirming its development and allowing users to wishlist the title, though no release date has been announced.
Pocketpair is promoting the game with a Lovander body pillow giveaway, emphasizing its unique marketing approach.
The announcement follows ongoing legal challenges for Pocketpair, including a lawsuit from Nintendo over alleged intellectual property infringement related to Palworld.
