Pocketpair Is Turning Its Palworld April’s Fool Joke Game Into A Reality

Back in 2024, developer Pocketpair made an April’s Fool Joke using its Palworld series in a form of a fake dating simulator title. Joke’s on us, as the company is going to turn it into a full-fledged game.

Pocketpair has announced that it is developing Palworld! More Than Just Pals, a dating sim set in the Palworld universe. In the game, you can have all sorts of characters & Pals mingle with you in casual dating places & social spots, and eventually have your favourite check out your Legendary World Tree behind closed doors. The game will be out for PC (Steam).

To celebrate the announcement, Pocketpair is giving away a Lovander body pillow to anyone interested. Guess all that simping towards the most attractive Pal in the game isn’t just a load of hot air.
