Pocketpair, the studio behind Palworld – that controversial hit from earlier this year that turned everyone into armchair lawyers for a hot minute – has announced it’s teaming up with Sony Music and Aniplex for a joint venture aimed at expanding the game’s reach. How? Well, at least in part by selling things.
While a lot of folks had initially expected Palworld to be the subject of some kind of legal intervention by Nintendo after it attracted allegations that the models used for some of its creatures were close to being rip-offs of established Pokemon, it, well, hasn’t. At least not yet.
So, it’s not surprising to see Pocketpair really starting to try and take advantage of the game’s potential to infiltrate every aspect of our lives via the distribution of plushies and other tat, something that’s already been happening in what we assume to be not quite official fashion on various corners of the internet for a while. Remember the weird Grizzbolt and Depresso morph suits, some of which seem to have had their listings disappear since February?
