Palworld PlayStation 5 Port in Japan Indefinitely SuspendedPalworld PlayStation Launch Announced at State of Play
However, global PlayStation users won't all gain access simultaneously. The Palworld PS5 version launched for most, excluding Japan—where Nintendo and Pokémon filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair. Palworld's PS5 release is delayed in the country following a patent infringement claim by Nintendo and Pokémon against developer Pocketpair.
Palworld PS5 Japan Release Date Still Undecided
Following Sony's announcement, Palworld's Japanese Twitter (X) account updated fans on the PS5 version's launch. "As announced at the official PlayStation State of Play, the PS5 version of 'Palworld' launched today in 68 countries and regions worldwide," Palworld announced.
The Palworld team apologized to Japanese PlayStation players for the temporary unavailability. They confirmed that a Japanese release date remains undecided. "The Japan release date is undetermined. We apologize to Japanese fans anticipating 'Palworld,' and will strive to deliver the game to all PS5 users soon."
Pocketpair didn't specify the reason for the indefinite delay in Japan, but it's presumed to be the ongoing legal dispute there between Nintendo, Pokémon, and Palworld concerning patent infringement. Last week, Nintendo announced a Tokyo court case, seeking an injunction and damages against Palworld. A granted injunction could halt Palworld's operations, potentially leading to the game's removal.
