See all Stories
Palworld, the survival game described by some as “Pokémon with guns” because of its familiar-looking designs, has sold millions of copies in under a week, with more simultaneous players on Steam than any other game outside of peak PUBG.
And now, after one modder already received a takedown notice, we have The Pokémon Company’s first official response:
Inquiries Regarding Other Companies’ Games
We have received many inquiries regarding another company’s game released in January 2024. We have not granted any permission for the use of Pokémon intellectual property or assets in that game. We intend to investigate and take appropriate measures to address any acts that infringe on intellectual property rights related to the Pokémon. We will continue to cherish and nurture each and every Pokémon and its world, and work to bring the world together through Pokémon in the future.
