This year, April Fools’ Day madness has started early, and survival game Palworld is at the forefront. The development studio Pocket Pair released a trailer for a dating simulator on March 31st.
What kind of dating simulator? In the game, which is scheduled to be released on April 1, 2025, you can date well-known Palworld characters such as Chillet, Lovander, Zoe and Katress.
You have the choice: Do you just want to stay friends or maybe even get into a romantic relationship? The trailer is peppered with allusions to popular anime clichés and well-known visual novel games like Doki Doki Literature Club.
Under the title More than just Pals, the studio gives an insight into what you could expect. You can watch the trailer here:
Pals long for your love
What do we see in the trailer? The trailer takes you to an anime-style school and there’s plenty of romance and drama waiting for you. In the trailer we see Katress being introduced with the student ID 75 and the quote: You won’t be able to take your eyes off me. She is portrayed as sweet and mysterious, but on the other hand, she is also a Yandere personality who doesn’t tolerate you dating others.
Chillet is shown as a sweet, shy character, while Lovander appears as a seductive senpai and asks the question: How about we have a little fun?. The shady black market dealer is also there.
But although the trailer creates real anticipation, one thing is clear: It’s an April Fool’s joke from Pocket Pair. The studio made it clear that it was a joke by adding an April Fool’s Day hashtag to the trailer.
In the YouTube description, the development team goes one step further: An 18+ version will also be released and Pals take off their clothes?!
How does the community react? Players are apparently really excited about a dating simulator from Palworld. We have summarized a few comments for you under the YouTube video:
Who knows, maybe this joke will actually turn into something serious, similar to The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog.
But April Fool’s Day leaves Palworld fans excited. At least Pocket Pair notes in the video description that an update for Palworld is coming soon!.
