Pocketpair, the developer that became famous thanks to “Palworld”, recently took the initiative to speak for its “competitors”! As the “Temtem” series officially announced the new survival game “Temtem: Frontiers”, many players immediately exclaimed: “Isn’t this just “Palworld”?” Unexpectedly, Pocketpair CEO Takuro Mizobe said directly, “We have never considered “Temtem” to be a competitor.”
As soon as the new work was released, it was immediately compared to
The recently released “Temtem: Frontiers” has added open world, survival, construction, multiplayer cooperation and other gameplay methods. Therefore, many players believe that its direction is very similar to “Palworld”. However, Takuro Mizobe said in an interview that he did not feel that the two sides were competing at all, because each game has its own characteristics and player base, and the market is large enough, so there is no need to regard all works as enemies.
What matters most is that players like it!
Mizobe Takuro further said that as long as players can play more interesting works, it will be a good thing for the entire game industry. He believes that it is more meaningful for different development teams to encourage each other and launch more high-quality works than to compete with each other. He also hopes that players will not label all monster collecting games as “Palworld replicas.”
Although Pocketpair shows a fairly open attitude, community discussions are still heated. Some players believe that the gameplay of “Temtem: Frontiers” is indeed reminiscent of “Palworld”; others said that survival construction is a popular genre, which does not mean who is copying it. As long as the game is fun enough, players will naturally pay for it.
