Several months have passed since we learned what was happening with The demand that Nintendo made against the Pocketpair studio for the elements that Pokémon supposedly copied for his game Palworld. Finally we have news about it and come directly from the mouth of the defendants, who were forced to make several changes to their work to continue their development.
This information came to us by means of a statement entitled «On the demand, changes to Palworld and the future », published in The official Twitter account of the game in English.
To begin with, Pocketpair informs that Nintendo continues to dispute to demonstrate that the patents that are supposedly violating are invalid, but they say that to continue the development and distribution of the game they have to reach certain commitments. Confirm that The change he suffered Palworld At the end of November 2024 and that withdrew the invocation of the PALS using spheres it was the result of litigation, as many had speculated.
But that is not the only one of the changes that will have Palworld To placate Nintendo's fury while the lawsuit continues. The new 0.5.5 patch – which is available since Thursday, May 8, 2025— It will not allow us to continue using the PALS to plan and instead have to use a glider. The PALS will continue to contribute passive improvements, but we will not see them in action
The statement ends up offering players apologies for these changes and ensure that they only made them to avoid interrupting the development and sale of the game. They also thank you for the support they have given them during all this time.
