Currently, Monster Hunter Rise is experiencing a significant surge in popularity. In just six hours on Steam, more than one million players have joined the game. This influx of players is so massive that even some Japanese companies are granting their employees a day off to participate in this monster-slaying frenzy, with everyone from ordinary citizens to their Palico companions embarking on expeditions into the wasteland.
Today, Pocketpair, the developers of Palworld, shared a message stating: “A number of our staff have mentioned they might not feel well tomorrow. Consequently, we’ve granted them an additional day off, so there will be no work done tomorrow.” The full text further states: “[Tomorrow] is a day off for some of our team members due to their reported illnesses.
Concerning February 28th, we’ve been getting odd reports from numerous employees about feeling sick the next day. As a precaution, the company is granting a unique holiday for most, but there are some departments that will still need to work, and I must clarify that this does not mean everyone is off. The good news is that development on ‘PalWorld’ and ‘Craftopia’ continues as planned without any delays.
As I scroll through the game’s subreddit, fellow Japanese gamers are sharing news that their workplaces are taking a day off. The post mentions they’re encouraged to take some time off, implying it’s for a holiday. And oh boy, did they drop a hint – “Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak” is set to launch on February 28th! Seems like this might not just be a coincidence… wink-wink!

In a different discussion, a user shares: “Many of my team members in Japan have unexpectedly taken days off for tomorrow. As their manager, I believe it’s appropriate to address the potential reasons during our meetings, but as a compassionate person, I hope they recover quickly. For now, I choose not to bring up the subject in our gatherings.
In a similar vein, it’s not entirely unheard of; the previous Monster Hunter game was also associated with an enigmatic outbreak of illness and unscheduled vacations, as well.
As a games journalist, it often means I need to work harder rather than less during major releases like this one. Yet, I can maintain my composure amid professional duties. Moreover, we’re working extra hours so you can enjoy the best of your holiday season. After all, we haven’t left you empty-handed! Our team at PC Gamer has produced an impressive collection of Monster Hunter Rise guides, and we have a live page to keep you informed about every exciting development on this highly anticipated, potentially illness-inducing launch day.
