Here’s the Best English Game April Fools’ Day Jokes 2025
Here’s the Best English Game April Fools’ Day Jokes 2025 April Fools’ Day is here once again. April 1, 2025 marks the day in which game companies make some intriguing, funny, and sometimes questionable jokes that shouldn’t be taken seriously at all. Here are all of the best game April Fools’ Day jokes regarding English games in 2025 you should know about. https://twitter.com/zzz_en/status/1906964803870138778?s=61&t=9YBio6l0V75AlnyR8nX7jQ Zenless Zone Zero Xbox Tease Zenless Zone Zero went for the tongue in cheek “joke” this year that appears to also be seemingly true in a way. The announcement of a new Bangboo arrives in the fake in-game event “An Outstanding Partner.” This Bangboo’s name is XBOO and it certainly carries the classic Xbox logo and green aesthetic. While XBOO is fake, this joke might actually be hinting at an official Xbox release someday down the line. This is one to certainly keep an eyes on at least. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=69HlFW9RpJs Fantasy Life i and Life Crossing: Fantasy Horizons Level-5 is hard at work on the upcoming release of Fantasy Life i , but the developer took the time to both market the game and jest at another game in the process. A really well done trailer showcases the supposed announcement to Animal Crossing: New Horizons known as Life Crossing: Fantasy Horizons . While fake, it honestly looks great with the different animal creatures and the like, but, thankfully, we’ll get Fantasy Life i in the near future. https://twitter.com/ffvii_ec_en/status/1906723167592501326?s=61&t=9YBio6l0V75AlnyR8nX7jQ FFVII Ever Crisis Academy This announcement appears to be a joke, though it arguably shouldn’t be. The mobile game FFVII Ever Crisis teased a supposed Academy event. This reimagines the cast of the beloved JRPG as high schoolers at academies. You get Cloud looking like a baseball star, Barret as a teacher, and Aerith and Tifa looking great. Plus, there is a rival Shinra school with Sephiroth and others. Unfortunately, this is most likely just a joke given its announcement window. It is a shame, though, since it has a lot of stunning art associated with it for the characters. https://youtu.be/ZUpilXM6638?si=_SRpA5TLcTWZ6_MU Palworld: More Than Just Pals Palworld is celebrating April Fools’ Day with a game joke you might be familiar with. Once again, PocketPair is showing off More Than Just Pals . This is the same visual novel from 2024’s joke where you get to romance humanoid versions of the Pals. It is even more elaborate this time with a Steam page for the spin-off game. I don’t want to get your hopes up, but this once joke may actually turn out to be real down the line, which would be spectacular. https://youtu.be/EVCQAv9R5RM?si=Li6rMmFUlWOkBnS6 Dave the Diver Remastered As you might expect, a remarkable indie title released in 2023 certainly doesn’t need a remaster. Rather than joke about the seemingly endless collaborations it has, Dave the Diver joked for April Fool’s Day about a remastered version. This supposed version is coming out for the YS7 and Ybox Series X/L. You’ll have to wait a while for this fake remaster, though, as it is set to arrive in 2049.

Palworld April Fools’ Day Dating Sim Returns
Palworld April Fools’ Day Dating Sim Returns For April Fools’ Day 2024, Pocketpair “announced” the Palworld dating sim called Pal ♡ World: More Than Just Pals with a trailer. Now for April Fools’ Day 2025, there’s another trailer and an actual Steam product page for the visual novel. Five more love interests are apparently revealed. As mentioned in the initial trailer, the Palworld dating sim reimagines the world as a standard visual novel set in a high school. Players attend Palpagos Private Academy, and they apparently can find love with both human and Pal characters. The 2024 trailer revealed Black Marketeer, Chillet , Katress, Lovander, and Zoe. (Zoe is set to become an ally we can recruit in the main game, as a reminder.) The latest trailer reveals additional love interests like Chillet Ignis, Quivern, Saya, Splatterina, and Tarantriss.  The latest video is here and shows some scenarios. It highlights gameplay at the end and shows the player petting Chillet Ignis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUpilXM6638&ab_channel=Pocketpair An array of screenshots debuted on the new Steam page.  Images via Pocketpair Here’s the 2024 trailer, in case you missed it.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep4kasLrZug&ab_channel=Pocketpair Palworld is available in early access for the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and there’s no release date for the April Fools’ Day dating sim  Pal ♡ World: More Than Just Pals.  The post Palworld April Fools’ Day Dating Sim Returns appeared first on Siliconera .

Palworld Poll Winner Zoe Will Become a Recruitable Character
Palworld Poll Winner Zoe Will Become a Recruitable Character Pocketpair has published the results of the Palworld global popularity poll. Zoe won the overall poll, and the company will make her a recruitable ally character in a future update patch for Palworld . The company launched the poll worldwide in late January 2025 . It let people vote for any Pals and faction leader characters who have appeared in the game. There was also a secondary poll where participants had to narrow down their votes to three. Zoe won the initial overall ranking with 31,535 votes. Meanwhile, Chillet, Jetragon, and Anubis comprise the top three list of the secondary poll, which has since been named the Favorite Pal Ranking. Pocketpair will also mark the results by releasing commemorative skins for all three winning Pals. Zoe is not the only human character to make an impact in this Palworld poll. Saya and Lily rounded up the top three of the overall ranking, and they also made their way to the top ten list of the Favorite Pal ranking. But despite these achievements, it still remains to be seen whether Saya and Lily will also be made into recruitable allies in future updates or not. Palworld is readily available worldwide on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Mac. Pocketpair has also released an update patch that enables crossplay on all aforementioned platforms.

Palworld Crossplay Appears Alongside New Sale
Palworld Crossplay Appears Alongside New Sale Pocketpair promised Palworld crossplay would appear around the end of March 2025, and it made good on that. The update arrived on the evening of March 18, 2025. In addition, the company revealed details about an ongoing Palworld sale that covers every version. Alongside the patch, Pocketpair confirmed some details about the update. Crossplay is available on every platform. This also means if you catch Pals, you can share them by transferring them between different Worlds. An Xbox Series X hotfix was also released to address issues with character save data. There’s also a trailer to go over the Palworld crossplay update. It highlights someone’s base with multiplePals working and thriving. An enemy Astegon then appears. While the player seems overpowered, an group of allies suddenly appears to assist and fight back. The group then  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWjKPwcuIOg&ab_channel=Pocketpair As for the Palworld sale, the length of it varies depending on the platform. On Steam , the PC version is only on sale until March 20, 2025. This is in line with the Steam Spring Sale. The PS5 version is reduced for slightly longer, as that discount is in effect at the PlayStation Store until March 27, 2025. The Xbox Series X price drop will appear for the longest period of time, as the Microsoft Store says that lasts for 20 days. So someone should have until April 8, 2025 to take advantage of the deal. Palworld is available for the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC in early access, the crossplay update is out now, and the game is currently on sale on every platform.

Palworld Crossplay Release Date Falls in March Set
Palworld Crossplay Release Date Falls in March Set Palworld is a work-in-progress, with the title being in early access on the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, and soon an update will add cross-play. Pocketpair confirmed that will arrive at the end of March 2025, though there is no exact date for the feature yet.  There are very few details about what the crossplay element of Palworld will entail. Essentially, it seems it will apply to both multiplayer and Pal world transfers. Currently, up to four people on the same platform can play together in a standard game, but those with a server could bring 32 players together. So if this works as intended at launch, we’ll likely be able to see up to four people from the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC versions all joining up to adventure and work together. This should also mean guilds would be open to everyone, which would also open up Pal trading via Pal Boxes.  While details about that gameplay element are scarce, Pocketpair was very forthcoming about a new sale on the early access game. It is reduced temporarily on both Steam and the PlayStation Store . In each case, it is 25% off, bringing the price down to $22.49. That offer lasts until March 27, 2025.  This is the second major update for Palworld in March 2025. At the start of the month, the game appeared on Macs . Given the lawsuit against Pocketpair by Nintendo, it is unlikely we will ever see the game on a Switch console. Palworld is available for the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC in early access, and the crossplay update will arrive at the end of March 2025.  The post Palworld Crossplay Release Date Falls in March Set appeared first on Siliconera .

Palworld Mac Version Is Now Available
Palworld Mac Version Is Now Available Pocketpair announced on March 4, 2025, that it has just released the Mac version of Palworld . People can now purchase the game from the Mac App Store at $29.99 / ¥3,400 , although they must have at least 22.8GB of free space to install it. The company has also shared a new artwork showing the Pals playing the game on a Mac to celebrate its new release on the platform. The Mac version had an additional set of hurdles it had to pass until Pocketpair successfully released it. The company originally planned to release the Mac version on November 26, 2024. However, it announced a delay a few days before that, as it wanted to further improve the port's quality before releasing it. After announcing the delay, Pocketpair originally set the new release date to February 27, 2025. The company ended up taking more time to publish the press release for the formal launch of the Mac version of Palworld . The game is available on a Mac that at least has an Apple M1 chip, with a minimum required macOS version of 14.0.0. As with earlier platform releases like Windows PCs, the Mac version supports subtitles in Japanese, English, French, Italian, German, Castilian Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Korean, and Chinese (Traditional and Simplified). Palworld is also available on Windows PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5, in addition to Mac. The post Palworld Mac Version Is Now Available appeared first on Siliconera .
