Palworld Gets BANNED Feature Back!

Summary

  • A dedicated fan creates a mod enabling Pal gliding in response to copyright claims by Nintendo.
  • Pocketpair defends Palworld against the Nintendo lawsuit and hopes the game could eventually come to Switch 2.

A fervent enthusiast of Palworld has developed a modifying tool that reinstates Pal gliding in Pocketpair’s open-world survival game. When Palworld was launched into early access in 2024, it attracted numerous comparisons to Nintendo’s popular series, Pokemon.

Since Palworld became known as the “Pokemon with guns,” Nintendo has filed multiple copyright lawsuits against Pocketpair, claiming that certain elements in Palworld resemble aspects within the Pokemon franchise. The lawsuit alleges that some features of the game are too similar to those found in the Pokemon series. As a result, Pocketpair has had to remove certain parts of the game. Meanwhile, fans of Palworld have turned to mods as a way to continue enjoying some of the game’s original features while the court case is ongoing.

Responding to the persistent issue about monsters’ ability to glide in the game Palworld, Pocketpair had initially taken it away, necessitating players to use a glider for flight across the game’s expansive world. However, a user named Primarinabee on Nexus mods has developed the Glider Restoration mod to re-introduce the Pal gliding feature. With this update, a glider needs to be in the player’s inventory. When activated, players will be seen soaring through the air along with their Pals once more.

Dedicated Fan Adds Pal Gliding Back Into Palworld

As a dedicated fan of Palworld, I’m excited to share that Primarinabee has pointed out that the Pal gliding mod is expected to function across current and upcoming updates. However, there are a couple of points to keep in mind. If you’re playing with friends who haven’t installed the patch, they won’t see your glider in action. Lastly, sometimes when summoning creatures, they might appear slightly off-center. In such cases, I recommend submitting a bug report on the Nexus page so that this issue can be addressed.

Enthusiasts are undoubtedly thrilled at the news that a mod bringing back Pal gliding to the game Palworld has surfaced. At the same time, developers Pocketpair have prepared an extensive response to the Nintendo lawsuit. In this response, they reference earlier games and claim that their new system, which combines aspects from their previous game, Craftopia, with elements similar to those in titles such as Titanfall 2 and Far Cry, falls under a different category than the patent Nintendo is using for Palworld. The patent in question is JP7545191, which covers the mechanism of capturing creatures and utilizing them for combat.

Regarding ongoing legal disputes with Nintendo, Pocketpair continues to harbor optimism that Palworld might be playable on the upcoming Switch 2. John Buckley, a spokesperson for Palworld, expressed that the team is receptive to the idea if Nintendo’s next console boasts sufficient power to operate the game without any hiccups. Whether or not gamers will experience Palworld on the Switch 2 remains uncertain, but Pocketpair plans to carry on supporting the popular title across other platforms in the meantime.
