Nintendo’s Switch Hosts Alleged Palworld Clone – Palland Emerges Amidst Controversy
The ongoing situation surrounding Palworld has taken an interesting turn. Following Nintendo’s lawsuit against Pocketpair, developer Boggysoft has now launched Palland on the Nintendo Switch, a new game that closely resembles Palworld. This development suggests Pocketpair may now face a clone of its own popular title. According to TheGamer, Palland has been available on Switch since late July. The game involves exploring, capturing, surviving, and building. Players encounter creatures resembling various Pokémon, which Palland describes as either “powerful threats or resources.” If Palworld was viewed as “Pokémon with weapons and survival,” then Palland appears to be a direct copy of Palworld. Despite Palworld’s significant success, a highly similar title has emerged relatively late. This timing raises the question of whether Pocketpair and Nintendo might consider collaborating to address such games in the future. An image from a YouTube video showcasing Palland gameplay on Nintendo Switch is included below.
