Nintendo has filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair, the developer behind Palworld, alleging infringement of patent rights.
Pocketpair called the situation “unfortunate.”
Yasuda added: “But it shows Nintendo has more ways to stop games it doesn’t like.
That has now changed with Nintendo’s lawsuit against Pocketpair.
The game has been massively successful, with 12 million copies sold on Steam so far.
Pocketpair is a small indie game company based in Tokyo.
Our goal as a company has always been to create fun games.
Palworld was a surprise success this year, both for gamers and for us.
We will continue improving Palworld and strive to create a game that our fans can be proud of.
We apologize to our fans and supporters for any worry or discomfort that this news has caused.
As always, thank you for your continued support of Palworld and Pocketpair.”
