When monster-catching indie game Palworld launched to breakout success earlier this year, it seemed like it was only a matter of time before Nintendo launched a lawsuit over its resemblance to Pokémon. Now, just when developer Pocketpair was likely convinced the hammer would never drop, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company have filed suit, alleged that Palworld infringes an undisclosed patent.
Nintendo and The Pokémon Company announced on Wednesday night that they had filed suit against Pocketpair in Tokyo District Court.
