The short version
- But although the lawsuit is ongoing, Palworld developer Pocketpair still says it's keen to bring the game to Switch 2 .
- Speaking to VGC , Pocketpair CEO Takuru Mizobe said he "of course" wants to bring the game to Nintendo's console.
- "First of all, I should say that we think the Switch 2 is a really amazing platform, not just for games globally, but especially here in Japan and for the Japanese games industry.
What happened
One year later, Pocketpair communications director John Buckley told IGN that a Switch 2 port was worth considering, assuming the console could handle the game. Still, technical capabilities aside, we're not likely to see Palworld on Switch 2 until the lawsuit between Pocketpair and Nintendo is resolved.
Why it matters
We're scheduled to hear an update on it soon, as the Tokyo District Court is set to issue a preliminary view on 9th November.
