The PS5 port of Palworld — the hit game earlier this year that left everyone either genuinely interested or genuinely outraged by the idea of a gun-toting Pokemon — has now been the subject of much speculation. It’s been a long time. The latest potential hint that it might actually be coming? Checklist for this year’s Tokyo Game Show.

The latest news about Palworld coming to PlayStation is that the Computer Entertainment Suppliers Association of Japan (CESA) has listed a list of games scheduled to be unveiled at the 2024 Tokyo Game Show, which will kick off on September 26.
As spotted by Gematsu, there’s a Palworld listing on page 30 of the 34-page document with a dot in the box indicating that the PlayStation 5 is one of its available platforms, alongside the Xbox Series X/S and established platforms such as Steam.

Now, it’s important not to get your hopes too high, as Gematusu notes that this annual list is “not a sure thing by any means,” so this isn’t a sure way to confirm that a PS5 port is actually coming out of PocketPair. This could just be a bug, or it could hint at TGS as the place where something like this might be announced, we’ll just have to wait and see.
In hopes that we’ll eventually get a Lamball rap album too, if there is one, PocketPair’s announcement that it will be partnering with Sony Music Entertainment for merchandising has left me and everyone else on the planet absolutely hopeless.
One thing we do know is that the studio says it doesn’t plan on turning the game’s success into a giant leap in the scale of triple-A development any time soon, preferring to see how fair its standalone structure and scale can be. .
