The director of communications at Pocketpair, Bucky, took to social media to clear up the confusion about who calls the shots at Palworld. In a post on X, he emphasized that the game is fully owned, funded, invested, and controlled by the studio, making it crystal clear that Sony has no say in the matter.
Joint Venture with Sony Music Entertainment Japan
The mix-up seems to stem from the creation of Palworld Entertainment, a joint venture involving Pocketpair, Sony Music Entertainment Japan, and Aniplex, which was announced in July 2024. This partnership is focused on licensing and expanding the brand, rather than the actual development of the game.
Zero Authority from Sony
Bucky went on to emphasize the point, stating, “They. Literally. Have. Zero. Authority.” Despite the online chatter and baiting, he reiterated that Palworld is completely in the hands of Pocketpair, with no interference from Sony. Looks like Bucky needs to take a break from reading online comments so much! 😇 #Palworld
