It’s described as the “largest, harshest, and most mysterious” location in the game, measuring around six times the size of Sakurajima, an island that was added in a summer update. In 2025, Palworld will be getting some kind of crossover with the survival crafting game Terraria, and a mobile version is also in the works, helmed by PUBG developer Krafton. In September, Nintendo, along with The Pokémon Company, filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair, which alleged that Palworld “infringes multiple patent rights.” This caused the PS5 port of Palworld to be indefinitely delayed in Japan, and earlier this month Pocketpair outlined the specific patents at the center of the lawsuit, which appear to cover Pokémon-like actions like tossing a ball at characters in a field.
