I have to say, Palworld fans are in for a potential treat! The survival game that’s already grabbed the attention of millions might be making its way to the PS5, according to Tokyo Game Show’s organizer.
As spotted by Gematsu, a PS5 version of Palworld was listed among the games set to make an appearance at TGS, which has got a lot of players excited. Now, it’s important to remember that this list, published by Japan’s Computer Entertainment Supplier’s Association, could change, and there’s always the possibility of a mistake. But still, this news has sparked some serious buzz.
In case you missed it, Palworld launched in January via Steam Early Access and Xbox Game Preview, pulling in an impressive 25 million players in just the first month! The developer Pocketpair itself knows they’re onto something big. Their CEO, Takuro Mizobe, even mentioned that they were in talks to bring the game to more platforms, which somewhat backs up this listing by the Tokyo Game Show organizer.
Pocketpair has partnered with Sony to go beyond the virtual world, looking at global licensing and merchandising for Palworld. So, we could be seeing even more Palworld in the form of merch and other goodies shortly. Sadly, for Nintendo Switch users, Mizobe hinted that bringing Palworld to that platform might not happen.
I have to admit, while the PS5 listing could still be up in the air, the fact that discussions have been going on for a while now makes this feel like a pretty strong possibility. So, keep your fingers crossed, because if it happens, PS5 owners are in for a wild ride with Palworld’s charming mix of creature collecting, battling, and surviving.
