Palworld Alters Summoning Mechanics Following Nintendo Dispute
TL;DR Summary
Palworld developer Pocket Pair has removed the Pokéball-style summoning mechanic from its game amid an ongoing legal battle with Nintendo and The Pokémon Company over patent infringement. The update, detailed in patch v0.3.11, changes how creatures are summoned, likely in response to the lawsuit targeting patents related to creature capture and summoning mechanics. Nintendo is seeking an injunction and damages, while Pocket Pair plans to contest the claims. Despite the legal issues, Palworld's development continues, with upcoming announcements teased for The Game Awards.
