A newPalworldupdate has included a change not mentioned in the patch notes, and fans are already crying foul.
It’s been fascinating watchingPalworldsince it launched earlier this year. While our reviewer had plenty of fun with thePokémon-inspired survival game, it’s been lathered in controversy from the beginning. Yes, the game is attractingrecord numbers of players, but there are also rumblings thatNintendo could turn aroundand take legal action at any time. Unprecedented scenes.
Until such time as NintendodoesthrowPalworldinto the fiery pits of litigation hell (which I must stress might not and probably won’t ever actually happen), developer Pocketpair is continuing to release small updates for the game.

Obviously it makes sense to censor salty language for multiplayer. If I had a kid I wouldn’t want them asking me why aPalworldplayer had called their world 69WillyBumBumLand. But people seem pretty annoyed the restrictions have extended to single-player, with many claiming this should be an optional feature when playing on private servers.

Cards on the table: I’m really not desperate to call my Pals rude names so I don’t really care about this, but we’ll see if Pocketpair responds to the backlash.
