This year’s biggest independent game sensation, Palworld, was crafted from the outset to be a conversation starter, according to its creator Takuro Mizobe.
With a budget of only $6.7 million, no one can argue that Palworld hasn’t had incredible breakout success. This isn’t surprising for a cheeky, funny, colourful game that unashamedly lifts gameplay mechanics from big franchises e.g. Minecraft, Fortnite and Ark, along with a very in your face nod to Pokemon.
The latest Pal to come to Palworld looks very similar to a popular gen 4 Eeveelution and gen 7 Alolan Pokemon
The game in question appears to be dubbed Auroria on Steam, which shares a plethora of similarities with Palworld.
No offense but Palworld isn't that original either, with that said… ew Tencent no thank you. I love the survival genre but all these half baked early access games have ruined the genre for me.
Well watch them get bought by Microsoft now so that can't happen
Bet they would 😂
Seems to me that that could be a very risky acquisition, simply because I keep expecting Nintendo to file some type of cease-and-desist order. You could argue that Nintendo would have done so already if they were ever going to, so maybe they don’t think they would win that action in court I guess.
Hmm, yeah I feel like they'll need more than this to get someone to buy.
Maybe see how Palworld does in sustaining itself and content, and how devs approach things going forward. Buying just cause of one big hit nowadays? Possible, but unlikely. Unless someone just wants to lock Palworld to one platform.
An acquisition won't happen by anyone. Well not anytime soon anyway, not with all the layoffs.
