Last week, Pocketpair, creators of Palworld, made a statement officially confirming that gliding with Pals was being removed from the game as a direct result of the Nintendo lawsuit over patent infringement currently taking place in Japan. This change would be implemented with patch v.0.5.5.
While we already know that Pocketpair isn't the first or the last to implement this mechanic, and we've reported before how Nintendo has submitted patent applications post-release of Palworld.
Nevertheless, I wanted to share this brilliant report from our friends at GameFray, who detail the exact timeline of when Palworld first revealed this mechanic in the game, and it's even earlier than I thought — a whole six months prior to Nintendo submitting its application for the patent.
