‘Pokémon with guns’ satire Palworld launches in Early Access on January 19


Palworld, often described as “Pokémon with guns,” finally has an Early Access release date. The game also tackles labor exploitation themes with a sardonic sense of humor, while adding (likely) just enough changes to evade Nintendo’s lawyers.

In addition to its violent battles, the game tackles labor exploitation themes with a sardonic sense of humor while adding (perhaps) just enough changes to evade Nintendo’s lawyers. You’ll see battles with strange monsters, vaguely resembling those in the creature collecting franchise, including players capturing them inside a sphere after a victory. The narration continues: “Creating a productive base like this,” as we see a yard full of Pals swinging hammers, “is the secret to living a comfortable life in Palworld.” The player circles them, holding an assault rifle to ensure they’re on task.
