We don’t have a ton of details on the Pal Arena mode yet, but here’s how Palworld developer Pocket Pair describes what they’re working on… “The Pal Arena makes its way to Palworld […]

It’s the most annoying day of the yeeeeear – yes, in case you haven’t looked at the calendar and are wondering why everyone’s gone crazy, today is April Fools Day. While some gags are fun enough (CDPR’s floppy disc edition of Cyberpunk 2077 is cute) too many are just kind of lame, or worse, promise something kind of cool-sounding, with the punchline being… that it’s not happening. Ho ho! Thankfully, some studios have realized that a lot of folks are kinda over the standard approach to April Fools, and have instead gone the extra step of doing gags that are […]
April Fools’ Day is a nightmare for news writers. This morning, I woke up to an Overwatch Cavalry post about an Overwatch 2 x Valorant crossover, and it took my brain at least eight seconds to catch up to the date posted underneath the graphic. April F...

One of 2024's biggest games, Palworld, was not developed by a big team. In fact, Pocketpair founder Takuro Mizobe recently told Bloomberg that the studio is tight-knit because it’s modest in size, comprising just 55 people in Tokyo. Mizobe also said th...
Palworld creator Takuro Mizobe has said that his studio is in talks to release the 'Pokemon with Guns' game on more platforms. That's what the CEO of Pocketpair and creator of Palworld said in a new interview with Bloomberg. According to Mizobe, he wants to bring the title to additional platforms beyond Xbox Game Pass and Steam. As also revealed by the CEO, his studio is open to partnerships or acquisitions. Given the huge success on Microsoft's platform (and Microsoft's acquisition spree), many considered the possibility of Pocketpair being acquired by Microsoft as well. This, however, isn't the case for […]
