Palworld and PUBG are getting dating sims

The developers of Palworld and PUBG: Battlegrounds have announced details of dating simulators set in the universes of their respective games.

The Palworld dating sim, technically called Pal♡world! ~More Than Just Pals~, was actually announced ahead of April Fools’ Day last year. But yesterday, developer Pocketpair released a second trailer for the game and published an official Steam listing, so it seems like it’s a bit closer to actually releasing.

According to the Steam page, “You, the protagonist, enroll as a transfer student in the prestigious Palpagos Private Academy. You will meet unique friends (pals) and enjoy school life through friendship and romance. It’s up to you whether you stay friends with the pals, develop romantic relationships with them, or even dismember and eat them.”

Pal♡world’s initial trailer stated the game would release on an April 1st, 2025, but the newly launched Steam page says its release date is “to be announced.”

PUBG’s dating sim, called “Winner Winner Romantic Dinner,” is an April Fools’ Day promotion that will let you get to know the game’s weapons as characters that have been personified.

“‘Winner Winner Romantic Dinner’ is set in a high school within the PUBG universe, where players take on the role of a student preparing for a school festival,” according to a press release. ”The game features characters inspired by PUBG’s iconic firearms, with branching storylines that lead to multiple unique endings.”

The PUBG dating sim will be available from April 1st to April 29th.
