Pocketpair announced during Summer Game Fest that Palworld, an open-world monster-taming game inspired by Pokémon, will receive a significant update on June 27th. The ‘Sakurajima’ update introduces a new island with diverse landscapes, new Pals inspired by the island’s environment, and a raised level cap for player progression. The update also includes new features such as dedicated Xbox servers, the ability to invade enemy oil rigs, and a PvP arena mode.
Palworld, the popular creature-catching game inspired by Pokémon, has recently unveiled its latest addition, Foxcicle. However, the new Pal has sparked controversy due to its striking similarities to Pokémon’s Ninetails and Glaceon. Players have taken to social media to express their concerns, with some accusing Pocketpair of blatant copying.
Palworld’s latest addition, Foxcicle, has drawn comparisons to two beloved Pokémon: Glaceon and Alolan Ninetales. With its fox-like features, icy details, and quadrupedal design, Foxcicle shares striking similarities with the Ice-type Glaceon and the Ice and Fairy-type Alolan Ninetales. The design has sparked discussions among Pokémon fans, some seeing it as a clever fusion of the two Pokémon, while others have expressed a desire for more originality. Despite the comparisons, Foxcicle remains a unique Pal in Palworld, a game that has consistently been compared to Pokémon since its announcement.
