Palworld: Pokémon Company to investigate copying claims

The people behind Pikachu and friends finally comment on the wildly successful "Pokémon with guns".

Players, known as "pal-tamers" travel around a large map battling human foes and creatures known as "pals" which can be captured and recruited. Palworld has sold 8 million copies since it was released in "early access" - where the version available to players is not the final product - last Friday. Fans were delighted by its graphics, mix of survival gameplay and creature collection, and despite server crashes the game has a "very positive" user rating from 80,000 reviews on digital store Steam.
