Palworld community manager hits back at DokeV being a “Palworld killer,” says the open-world RPG “looks incredible” and games don’t have to compete

Palworld’s community manager has downplayed comparisons to the forthcoming open-world catch-’em-up DokeV, dismissing any perceived competition between the two games.

Everyone knows Palworld as the new hotness of 2024 – as of last month it was still averaging over 100,000 concurrent players a day – but not everyone will be so familiar with DokeV. An open-world creature collection from Black Desert MMO developer Pearl Abyss, the long-gestating game was once meant to release in 2022, but since its delay out of the year we’ve had virtually no word about it whatsoever.
