Pocketpair publishing lead John "Bucky" Buckley seems to be teasing an incoming April Fool's joke, but if I've learned anything from Palworld April Fool's jokes, it's that they're often not jokes at all.
For April Fool's Day 2024, Pocketpair revealed an anime-inspired Palworld dating sim visual novel. Everyone laughed and then dismissed it as an obvious April Fool's Day joke, but then a year later, just in time for the 2025 holiday, Pal♡world! ~More Than Just Pals~ got a Steam page with an expanded gameplay trailer strongly suggesting that this thing is 100% real. After all, it's very unlikely that Valve would approve a game on its storefront that doesn't actually exist as a prank. There's even system requirements and everything.
