Palworld developer Pocketpair has revealed details regarding Nintendo's patent infringement lawsuit against the company.
Other titles separately confirmed for the console include Killing Floor 3, Off the Grid, and Starship Troopers: Extermination.
Shortly after releasing for Sony's console in the rest of the world, Pocketpair's open world survival game is now available for PS5 in Japan as well.
Krafton has announced that it has entered into a licensing agreement with Pocketpair, which will see the former's PUBG Studios developing a mobile version of Palworld.
"We apologize to everyone in Japan who was looking forward to it, but all of our staff will do our best to deliver it to PS5 users as soon as possible, so we hope you will wait for a little longer," P...
Pocketpair's open world survival sensation, which launched for PC and Xbox consoles earlier this year, is out today for PlayStation 5.
"At this moment, we are unaware of the specific patents we are accused of infringing upon, and we have not been notified of such details," the Japanese studio says.
"This lawsuit seeks an injunction against infringement and compensation for damages on the grounds that Palworld infringes multiple patent rights," Nintendo says.
"Palworld was never designed with that model in mind, and it would require too much work to adapt the game at this point," Pocketpair says.
A PS5 version of the survival title is mentioned in a list of games appearing at TGS, which was published by Japan's CESA.
Summoned Pals also receive 25 percent less damage, while tomato and lettuce production efficiency on farms has been buffed.
The joint venture's goals include developing the IP's reach and expanding on "global licensing and merchandising activities."
The Pokemon Company previously said that it would "investigate and take appropriate measures to address any acts that infringe on intellectual property rights related to Pokémon."
New items, weapons and builds are also available alongside the new Meteorite Event, in which players can capture an "unknown" new Pal.
Pocketpair CEO Takuro Mizobe also dreams of a "true PvP mode" akin to Ark or Rust, with Arena considered "kind of an experiment."
The recent social media activity of Palworld's community manager might be pointing to an upcoming PS5 release for the game.
New Pals and subspecies, weapons, a new faction leader to challenge, increased level caps, new building types and PvP await.
Pocketpair promises a "LOT of exciting things to reveal" for its survival sandbox creature collector at the upcoming showcase.
When dropping items and Pals on death, anyone on the server can pick them up for 24 hours (and they'll also disappear in 48 hours).
Its upcoming Summer update features four new Pals, an island with various biomes to explore and some new weapons for players.
Four new Pals, a flamethrower and futuristic rifle, and a new island with sakura trees await players this coming Summer.
The patch is live on PC and reduces the jittering of sleeping Pals on their beds and the hit detection of specific Pal attacks.
Pocketpair also revealed that it's working hard to prepare its PvP-focused Arena update for players "as soon as possible."
The teaser sees two trainers facing off, with three Pals on each side and players free to support their team until a victor remains.
Following the arrival of its first raid boss, multiplayer save data from older versions of the survival title have not been properly working.
You can now boost Pal XP with Training Manuals, enhance their stats with fruit, mine ore from a specific building, and more.
CEO Takuro Mizobe says Pocketpair intends to remain a small studio: "Big-budget triple-A games are not for us."
However, CEO Takuro Mizobe says the studio is not currently engaged in any such talks with Microsoft.
The "powerful evil Pal" is the first new addition to the roster since the title entered early access and is a fight for "only the most skilled."
The action-adventure survival game is currently available only on Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC.
A recent patch removed the bug inadvertently, meaning players can no longer capture the Tower bosses and wield them in battle.
Pals will also attack enemies even if combat isn't active when commanded to attack aggressively, among other improvements.
In light of its never-ending popularity Palworld has hit new milestones across its PC release as well as on Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
"We are looking for people for all positions, but we are especially looking for planning and engineers," Pocketpair says.
An issue that caused crashes and save data corruption for guilds if the total captured Pals hit 7000 has also been fixed.
Pocketpair's survival crafting title continues to post big numbers less than two weeks after launching on Xbox consoles and PC.
