Sony highlighted the PlayStation 5 launch of the game Palworld as part of the news revealed during Tuesday evening’s State of Play presentation. However, it omitted a specific detail. Despite the game’s availability on PlayStation platforms in 68 countries and regions globally, Japan is not included in the list.
The official Japanese account for the game announced on X that the release date in Japan "has not yet been decided," without providing further details on the reasons behind the delay. This uncertainty may be related to the recent patent infringement lawsuit that Nintendo and The Pokémon Company filed against Palworld developer Pocketpair, although the tweet did not confirm this directly.
The latest statement from Pocketpair regarding this matter remains the one issued previously. Further information can be found in the linked article.
