Palworld is Pokémon with guns, but Pocketpair’s new Palworld More Than Just Pals is a love/dating simulation game, and if you think this is fake or not real, you can think again.
2026 was not ready for Palworld More Than Just Pals. There’s been a long-running joke in the Palworld community about romancing and dating the game’s many pals, but it’s always teetered on the edge of a joke, and ‘maybe this would actually work?’
We’re finally about to see if the idea is more than the sum of everyone’s imaginations.
Palworld More Than Just Pals Revealed By Pocketpair
‘Love is in the air!’ Pocketpair proclaimed on March 31. The Palworld More Than Just Pals announcement has arrived well after Valentine’s Day, but crucially, before April Fool’s Day.
To be clear: This is REAL.
Pocketpair proudly told the world:
“A special announcement video about Pal♡world! ~More Than Just Pals~ An unbelievable reveal that will shock Pal Tamers around the world! Wishlist today! (This is NOT an #AprilFoolsDay)”
The official Steam listing gets hot and steamy (pun intended) very quickly, and you will arrive at Private Palpagos Academy to start your own whirlwind adventure of love and loss—loss caused by eating other Pals if you reject their advances!
Here’s the full reveal statement, along with the first trailer, splicing together a humorous office skit and the first hot footage from the game.
Not that it’s for anyone to judge, but the internet can be a strange place. Let us know what you think: Is Palworld More Than Just Pals the perfect potion of Palworld perfection? Let the Insider Gaming Discord know.
We have more IG stories for you right here: PS6 might feature a 1TB SSD and no Disc Drive, the Lords of the Fallen 2 release window accidentally being revealed, and Kingdom Come: Deliverance devs potentially working on a LOTR Game.
