One of the developers of Steam and Xbox hit Palworld has teased the release of a PlayStation version. Pocketpair community chief Bucky tweeted adding blue-colored hearts to Palworld’s existing black (PC), green (Xbox), and white (Mac) hearts. Blue is, of course, the color of PlayStation branding.
With this context, a PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 release now seems likely. ???Palworld??? I want to add more hearts, but not sure what colour would fit..
.hmm..
.how about..
.. ????Palworld???? Looks good I think! ?— Bucky | Palworld (@Bucky_cm) June 22, 2024 Palword, dubbed ‘Pokémon with Guns,’ launched in early access form in January 2024 on PC via Steam and on Xbox as a day-one Game Pass title.
It saw enormous popularity overnight, becoming one of the biggest game launches of all time. But it’s also one of the most controversial. Pocketpair has said its staff has received death threats amid Pokémon "rip-off" claims , which it has denied.
Soon after launch, Nintendo moved quickly to remove an eye-catching Pokémon mod , then The Pokemon Company issued a statement , saying: "We intend to investigate and take appropriate measures to address any acts that infringe on intellectual property rights related to Pokémon." IGN asked lawyers whether Nintendo could successfully sue . Player numbers have tailed off in the last half year, but the addition of a PS5 version would certainly provide Palworld with a shot in the arm.
Whether Nintendo would greenlight a release on Swi.
