The Pokemon Company made allegations against Palworld, accusing it of potentially infringing on Pokemon's copyright due to the similarities between the creatures in both games. They stated they had not granted permission for the use of Pokemon intellectual property or assets in Palworld and intended to investigate and take appropriate measures against any infringement5.
Palworld developers cited "technical reasons" as the main factor for the unlikely release of the game on Nintendo Switch. They also mentioned that they are still discussing the possibility of bringing the hit survival game to other platforms like PlayStation.
The Sakurajima update for Palworld introduces a new island to explore called Sakurajima, several new Pals to collect or battle, a fresh raid, and additional gear, buildings, and bosses4. The update is set to release on June 27, and is regarded as Palworld's largest patch to date.
