Pocketpair, despite an ongoing legal battle with Nintendo, has expressed interest in bringing Palworld to the Nintendo Switch 2. CEO Takuro Mizobe stated in a recent interview that the Switch 2 is an "amazing platform" and that the company would welcome conversations about porting the game. This comes after the Japanese Patent Office denied Nintendo's application for a patent on creature capture mechanics in October 2025.
Mizobe also discussed the game's development, noting that early access feedback led to a shift from darker, more controversial themes toward a cozier, player-focused experience. The studio aims to continue supporting Palworld in a way that makes sense for players, rather than treating it as a traditional live service game.
