Monster Hunter Wilds is, well, real popular right now. With over 1.1 million people hopping into the game on Steam alone in less than 6 hours, it seems like everyone and their Palicos are venturing into the wastes to slay some beasties.

Pocketpair is giving Palworld's dev team a day off so they can dive into Monster Hunter Wilds on day one.

Pocketpair has made February 28 a special "non-working" holiday due to notices from employees that they were going to get sick that day.

At least, that seems to be the case at Palworld developer Pocketpair as the company just announced that all employees can have February 28 off work to recover from their sudden/upcoming/pre-planned illnesses that just so happen to coincide with Monster Hunter Wilds release date.
