Palworld is finally coming to PlayStation 5

Good news for Pokemon fans that don’t own a Nintendo console for some reason; it seems Palworld is finally coming to Sony’s PlayStation 5 following a recent leak.

As detailed in a Twitter post by the video game outlet Gematsu, the Computer Entertainment Suppliers’ Association recently announced which titles would be in attendance at the upcoming 2024 Tokyo Game Show.

The list even specified which systems each title would be playable on at the event, with Palworld developer Pocketpair seemingly noting that the title would be featured on PCs, Xbox Series S/X, and… PlayStation 5.

It should be noted that, seemingly since Gematsu picked up on this last night, the list has since been amended to remove the PlayStation 5 from the list of systems you can play Palworld on.

Although this could imply that the listing was actually a mistake and has since been rectified, it’s more than likely that the event organisers are trying to cover up for their mistake as this isn’t the first time it’s been implied that Palworld would be coming to Sony’s platform.

Back in June, the Global Community Manager at Pocketpair tweeted a rather cryptic post that led many to believe that they were implying Palworld would be coming to PlayStation systems.

The company also announced in July that they were teaming up with Sony Music Entertainment and Aniplex to “establish Palworld Entertainment, Inc., for the purpose of accelerating the multifaceted global development of Palworld”.

Although the latter announcement seems to be implying that some kind of Palworld-related anime seems to be on the horizon, it does mean that Sony and Pocketpair have been in talks to collaborate for some time now.

Either way (although it seems all but confirmed at this point) we will have to wait until the 26th of September once the Tokyo Game Show starts for the official confirmation.
