Palworld Dev Grants Employees Monster Hunter Day Off

Mar 12,25(9 months ago)

Pocketpair, the developers of Palworld, gave their staff February 28th off to celebrate the release of Monster Hunter Rise (Wilds appears to be a typo). According to Automaton, the studio received numerous "mysterious" employee notices citing potential illness on the 28th—the game's release date. This prompted the studio to declare a company-wide holiday. Pocketpair clarified that game updates would remain unaffected.

Monster Hunter Rise enjoyed a phenomenal launch, boasting 1 million concurrent Steam players, placing it among Steam's top 10 most-played games ever, surpassing titles like Baldur's Gate 3, Hogwarts Legacy, and Elden Ring. Despite this success, the game received a "mixed" user review rating on Steam, leading Capcom to release official PC performance guidance and announce details for Title Update 1, which will introduce an endgame social hub.

The game's impact is global, particularly noticeable in Japan. Automaton reported on a Japanese indie developer jokingly lamenting a lack of Steam sales since Monster Hunter Rise's release. This isn't Pocketpair's first such gesture; they similarly granted staff leave for Elden Ring's release in 2022.
