Palworld Skips Japan, Nintendo Legal Tussle Implicated

Author : Zoey Update：Dec 11,2024

The PlayStation 5 release of Palworld, showcased at September 2024's PlayStation State of Play, is experiencing a delay specifically in Japan. While the game launched globally on PS5, Japanese players are currently unable to access it. This delay is strongly suspected to be a direct consequence of an ongoing legal battle between Nintendo/Pokémon and Palworld's developer, Pocketpair.

Palworld PS5 Release Excludes Japan

Nintendo and Pokémon have filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Pocketpair in Tokyo. The lawsuit seeks an injunction and damages, potentially leading to the game's complete shutdown if successful.

The official Palworld PlayStation 5 launch trailer, featuring Aloy-inspired gear, was released alongside the global launch announcement. However, Palworld's Japanese Twitter (now X) account issued an apology, stating the PS5 release date for Japan is currently undetermined. They pledged to bring the game to Japanese PS5 users "as soon as possible." While Pocketpair hasn't explicitly linked the delay to the lawsuit, the timing and circumstances strongly suggest a direct correlation. The ongoing legal proceedings cast considerable uncertainty over the future of Palworld's availability in Japan.
