The CEO of Palworld♏ developer Pocketpair has♚ stated that the game's artists have received death threats, and has asked that people stop directing messages towards studio staff.

Takuro Mizobe, CEO of Pocketpair, put out the tweet just below earlier today, January 22. Mizobe's tweet firstly reveals tha𒉰t artists working on Pa🀅lworld have received "slanderous" messages and comments about their work, some of which include death threats via Twitter.

The CEO further writes ♎that as he is responsible for the production of Palworld, he is asking everyone to refrain from writing such messages to the artists at Pocketpair. The responses, from predominantly Japanese Twitter users, appear to be in support of Mizobe and the Palworld artists.

This all follows after Mizobe dismissed concerns about Palworld's similarities to Poౠkemon. "We have absolutelꦯy no🍒 intention of infringing upon the intellectual property of other companies," Mizobe wrote on Twitter, attempting to dispel similarities between the two.

Much has been made of Palwo꧅rld's similarities to Pokemon. Even before Poc♌ketpair's game launched in early access last week, it had already been dubbed 'Pokemon with guns' by social media users, and now that the multiplayer game has launched, people are drawing direct comparisons between Palworld's creatures and Pokemon.

have drawn comparisons bꦕetween dozens of creatures in Palworld and the Pokemon series. Developers have even weighed in on the debate, with Moonglow Bay director writing that "the fact that Palworld has similarities isn't due to some lack of creativity, but entirely due to intent to stir controversy and marketing."
