Palworld has become one of the most successful games of 2024. With over 8 million copies sold in just one week, the world’s eyes are clearly on this title pokemon. However, this attention also brings with it several problems and people are waiting for a lawsuit from Nintendo and Pokemon. Well, looks like it might be on the way. Since the people responsible for Pikachu have finally issued a statement about it.
Through an official statement, The Pokemon Company noted that they have already begun an investigation to prevent their designs and concepts from being used in other games. Although they do not directly mention Paulworld in their message, It is also clear that this is a response to all allegations of plagiarism received by PocketPair.. Here’s what was said about it:
“We have received many inquiries about other companies’ games releasing in January 2024. We have not given any permission to use Pokemon intellectual property or assets in that game. We intend to investigate and take appropriate action to address any actions that infringe intellectual property rights related to Pokémon. “We will continue to appreciate and nurture each Pokémon and its world, and work to unite the world through Pokémon in the future.”
For its part, Pocketpayer defended itself by pointing this out Palworld It is basically inspired like a survival game Ark Survival Evolved y Vanaheim. However, on the networks, the community has shared a large number of comparisons where it is clear that some of the designs of this game are very similar to the Pokemon we all know.
While The Pokemon Company researches its next move, Nintendo has already taken action on mods that add Pokemon Palworld. Multiple videos have already been removed, and Nexus Mods, the site where we usually find this kind of work, has indicated that it will no longer host Pokemon mods to avoid some kind of legal dispute.
For the moment, it looks like we can wait to find out the Pokemon Company’s stance on the matter, But everything seems to indicate that Palworld I may number my days. In related matters, Palworld manages to break a record on Steam. Likewise, will this game come to PlayStation 5 and Switch?
Editor’s note:
There are many people who want to sue the Pokemon company for pocket money. Although I understand that Pocket Monster’s designs are a clear inspiration from what we all know, its developers Palworld They can defend themselves by pointing out that the gameplay is different. At the end of the day, it’s the result of an explosion in popularity that only happened because of its similarities to Pokemon, since not many people talked about its playstyle.
