Gears of War creator Cliff “CliffyB” Bleszinski says Palworld’s astonishing success “kinda validates” a pitch he’d made to Epic “many years ago”.
In a post shared to Twitter/X, Bleszinski said he took the idea of “medieval Pokémon with baby dragons instead” to Epic, but the idea was “rejected at all the major publishers”.
When asked by a curious follower what Epic said when Bleszinski made the pitch, he simply said: “It just… never went anywhere. I wanted to do it on mobile first”.
