Pocketpair has announced a dating sim called Palworld: More Than Just Pals—again. This time around, however, the bizarre Palworld spin-off seems to actually be happening.
More Than Just Pals was initially teased for April Fools' Day 2024. Pocketpair presented the joke concept as a dating sim allowing players to befriend, romance, or dismember and eat Pals. While many fans praised the developer for the effort that went into crafting the gag, others publicly wished for the Palworld dating simulator to be real.
The Palworld communications director comments on the possibility of a Nintendo Switch 2 port for the popular monster-taming game.
Almost a year later to the day, Pocketpair once again announced Palworld: More Than Just Pals on March 31. But it's now looking like the game might actually be happening, with the Japanese studio even launching its Steam page, where it can already be wishlisted. In a bid to promote this listing, the company announced it's giving away a body pillow adorned with the image of Palworld Pal Lovander.
Between the body pillow giveaway and the ludicrous concept of the game itself, some Palworld fans still seem convinced that More Than Just Pals is just a joke....
