Pocketpair boss Takuro Mizobe has said Palworld&#8217;s launch was so big that the developer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/palworld-dev-says-massive-profits-are-too-big-for-a-studio-with-our-size-to-handle\"><u>couldn\u2019t handle the massive profits the game generated<\/u><\/a>. Still, Pocketpair acted swiftly to capitalize on Palworld\u2019s breakout success, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/palworld-dev-signs-deal-with-sony-to-form-palworld-entertainment-and-expand-the-ip\"><u>signing a deal with Sony<\/u><\/a> to form a new business called Palworld Entertainment that\u2019s tasked with expanding the IP. It later launched the game on PS5.<\/p>\n<p>After Palworld\u2019s huge launch, comparisons were made between Palworld\u2019s Pals and Pok\u00e9mon, with some accusing Pocketpair of &#8220;ripping off&#8221; Pok\u00e9mon designs. But rather than file a copyright infringement lawsuit, Nintendo and The Pok\u00e9mon Company went down the patent route. In the initial lawsuit, the two companies called for 5 million yen (approx $30,000) each plus late payment damages, as well as an injunction against Palworld that would block its release. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/nintendo-may-only-win-30000-payout-in-pokemon-legal-battle-with-palworld-developer-pocketpair-ip-expert-says\">A judgement is expected later this year<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As for Palworld 1.0, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Bucky_cm\/status\/2070299481258840507\">Bucky has teased<\/a> 27 pages of changes and additions for the patch notes.
