Pocketpair Shocks Palworld Fans with… a Dating Sim?!
Yeah, you read that right. The devs behind Palworld just announced their first spin-off game—and it’s not another crafting survival experience or battle arena. Nope. It’s a dating sim… starring the Pals themselves. 😳
🎮 Palworld Goes From Catching to Courting
Palworld, the viral sensation that dropped on PC and Xbox back in January 2024, took over the internet. Think Pokémon meets open-world chaos, and you’ve got the vibe. Fans were all over Twitch, watching streamers catch and craft alongside their favorite Pals.
But Pocketpair just took a sharp left turn with their next big move. On March 31, a Steam listing popped up for their new project—and it’s a full-blown dating sim featuring the creatures from the game.
Yes. Seriously.

🥰 Welcome to Palpagos Private Academy
The new game’s trailer, which dropped on X (formerly Twitter), had fans doing double takes. Here’s the dramatic tagline:
“Under the legendary World Tree, your destiny intertwines with the adorable Pals.”
According to the Steam page, you play as a transfer student at Palpagos Private Academy, where you’ll meet all sorts of Pals and live your best anime high school life.
“You will meet unique friends (pals) and enjoy school life through friendship and romance. It’s up to you whether you stay friends with the pals, develop romantic relationships with them, or even dismember and eat them.”
Wait. What??
Yeah, that last line has people spiraling. Romance or cannibalism—it’s your call, apparently. Classic Pocketpair chaos.
😲 Fans Are Confused, Hyped, and a Little Concerned
Naturally, people had questions. Some were convinced it was a joke, especially with the April Fools’ Day timing. Reactions started flooding in:
- “Chat I thought this was a joke.”
- “I saw this last year as a joke but is it actually happening?! I am keen it looks so cute!”
- “Not again, this April Fools’ Day joke feels sad.”
But despite the date, Pocketpair insists this is 100% real.
“April joke? What? Wishlist now on Steam,” the official Palworld account posted.
Pocketpair’s community manager Bucky added: “This doesn’t concern April Fools.”
So yeah—it’s happening. For real.
🗓️ No Release Date Yet
We don’t know when the Palworld dating sim is launching yet, but if you’re curious, you can already wishlist it on Steam.
Whether you’re down to date your favorite Pal, or you’re just here for the chaos, one thing’s for sure: Pocketpair knows how to keep people talking.
Stay tuned—because this story’s only getting weirder. 💘🐾
