For reasons totally unrelated to the release of Monster Hunter Wilds, Palworld developer Pocketpair has given its team a “special holiday” today, 28th February.
In a memo, staff were advised that as many employees hinted that they may be too unwell to work today, management had decided to give the team the day off as a “special holiday”.
“On 28th February, we received a series of puzzling reports from many employees that they might feel unwell the next day, so we decided to institute a special holiday for the company,” the memo said (as translated by Google).
It then confirmed a special day’s holiday has been awarded to departments – it’s unclear what teams won’t be eligible – and stressed to players that the time off would not impact Palworld or Craftopia, with scheduled updates progressing as planned (thanks, Automaton).
