Pocketpair would ‘love to have conversations’ to bring Palworld to Switch 2, CEO says
Pocketpair has signaled its desire to bring Palworld to Nintendo’s Switch 2 console, despite ongoing legal tensions between the companies. The developer’s CEO expressed openness to conversations with Nintendo about porting the popular title to the upcoming platform, demonstrating a willingness to explore collaboration despite existing litigation.
Nintendo maintains an active lawsuit against Pocketpair related to the game. However, this legal dispute has not deterred the developer from pursuing a Switch 2 release, suggesting Pocketpair is taking a pragmatic stance toward potential future partnerships. The willingness to engage in discussions even amid patent-related claims indicates both parties may be open to resolution.
The statement reflects broader industry dynamics where legal disputes and commercial interests can coexist. Bringing Palworld to Switch 2 would represent a significant platform expansion for the title, potentially reaching a large audience on Nintendo hardware. The outcome will likely depend on how the current lawsuit is resolved and whether both companies can negotiate acceptable terms for a potential port.
