Palworld, showcased at PlayStation's September 2024 State of Play event, finally arrives on PlayStation consoles after its Xbox and PC debuts. However, a significant hurdle exists: the PS5 release is indefinitely delayed in Japan due to legal action from Nintendo.
Palworld's PlayStation 5 Debut – A Global Launch, Except Japan
The PS5 version launched globally as announced during the State of Play, even featuring a trailer showcasing Palworld characters with Horizon Forbidden West-inspired gear. Yet, Japanese PlayStation gamers are left waiting. The delay stems from a patent infringement lawsuit filed by Nintendo and Pokémon against Palworld developer, Pocketpair.
Uncertainty Surrounds Japan Release Date
Palworld's Japanese social media account confirmed the global launch, excluding Japan, and apologized for the delay. No release date has been set for Japan. The statement cited ongoing legal proceedings, strongly implying the Nintendo lawsuit as the cause. This lawsuit seeks injunctions and damages, potentially leading to Palworld's complete shutdown. The outcome will significantly impact the game's future availability in Japan.
