Although Palworld was shadow-dr🌌opped on PS5 for 𓄧most areas of the world last night, there was one notable omission - Japan. , that confirmed its absence was purposeful, and that thre release date "has not yet been decided".

The statement from Palworld's account confirms that it's doing its best to "deliver to PS5 users as soon as possible" and asks Japanese players to wait a little longer for the game's release. No official reason was given for the delay, but it seems very likely that it's due to the lawsuit that was filed in Tokyo by Nintendo and The Po🗹kemon Company last week.

The release date in Japan has not yet been decided. 𓆉We apologize to everyone in Japan who was looking forward to it, but all of our staff will do our best to deliver it to PS5 users as soon as possible, so we hope you will wait for a little longer.
