As one of the year’s biggest games,Palworldhas staked its claim as a major 2024 release. Despite the game’s player base dropping since its viral launch,Palworldcontinues to be one of the most notable titles of the year. The game may still be in early access, but that hasn’t stopped developer Pocket Pair, Inc. from capitalizing on its success.
A recent deal with Sony has birthed Palworld Entertainment,a company set on expanding thePalworldnameinto merchandise and other points of media. The greater details of this business venture remain a mystery at the moment, but one of the main things that raised eyebrows was the exclusive deal with Sony. As of now,Palworldis only available on PC and Xbox, but that is bound to change. Gamers have been awaiting aPalworldport for PS5 since launch, and that may soon become reality.
Recent Palworld News Can Give Insight Into Its Eventual PS5 Debut
All Eyes on Tokyo Game Show
The list of the upcoming Tokyo Game Show’s lineup dropped some majorPalworldnews. This list in question mentionsPalworldfor the PS5, meaning an announcement is likely to happen at the event. This would be a huge update for the open world survival title, as it would be a completely new audience waiting on the horizon.
Tokyo Game Show runs from September 26 until September 29.
Two Launch Dates For Palworld on PS5 Feel Most Possible
Although there is no actual way to know until Pocket Pair, Inc. gives official confirmation, two timeframes seem highly likely. The first possible date is right after its rumored Tokyo Game Show announcement. Other developers have done this recently, and it wouldn’t be surprising if it kicked off a trend. After announcing it at the recent Gamescom event,Bethesda immediately launched its first vehicle forStarfieldin a free update. This sorta seems like wishful thinking, but it can’t fully be discounted, especially sincePalworldis clearly going to have some kind of presence at Tokyo Game Show.
The more grounded possibility is thatPalworldwill come to PS5 when it is out of early access. As of now, there is no official date for the game to be out of early access, but Pocket Pair, Inc. has confirmed in the past that the game will be in this state for at least a year. There are still manyways thatPalworldcan improve, and having the full product ready for a PS5 launch could be exciting.Palworldis only just a few months away from its first anniversary in January. If the game’s developers are on target, taking the game out of early access in early 2025 could be the perfect moment for a PS5 launch. Even if the game isn’t ready to leave early access, dropping the PS5 port on the one-year anniversary wouldn’t be too surprising.
Palworld’s Bold Plans For the Future
Between the deal with Sony and the mysterious lineup placement at Tokyo Game Show,Palworld’s sights are set on the future. Since the game’s Sakurajima update over the summer,Palworldhas found a new stride, and it will be exciting to see how Pocket Pair, Inc. continues to build that momentum. These theoretical PS5 port launch dates may not be set in stone, but they are some of the most likely possibilities at the moment.
Palworldmade sure the year started off strong for smaller titles, and it’s always fun to see non-AAA games succeed against major releases.AsPalworldcontinues to evolve, its eventual PS5 port will likely bring a brand-new surge in interest.
