Summary

Pocketpair Palworld developer Pocketpair just announced a bizarre spinoff called Palworld: More Than Just Pals. This looks to be a dating sim with horror elements in which you can romance the various Pals from the original game. The gameplay description suggests it's set at a mysterious school, and players can not only fall in love with these creatures, but also "dismantle and eat them." The original game already let you eat Pals, but the ability to romance the gun-toting animals is new. The company recently announced Palworld: Palfarm , which is a farming sim where players can punish Pals that aren't working hard enough.

We don't know too much about the specifics of gameplay, though there is a trailer. Developer Pocketpair insists this is
not an April Fool's Day joke,
despite today's date. There's an active Steam page complete with system requirements, for whatever that's worth. We don't have a release date or price for this one just yet.

This isn't the first
Palworld
spinoff. The company
recently announced
Palworld: Palfarm
, which is a farming sim where players can punish Pals that aren't working hard enough. There's no
release date for that one yet either
.
The original
Palworld
has proven to be a huge hit
. It's a cheeky and violent take on Pokémon that has
attracted plenty
of
negative attention from Nintendo
. There's no way to date or eat Pokémon in any of Nintendo's games, though
Pokopia
lets players move in with the creatures and sleep next to them. Many people are particularly fond of turning
Machoke into a house husband
, who is basically just a big and buff man.
