Parody Dating Sims Is The Go-To April Fool's Joke For Games

Absurd Fun

This isn't the first time a parody dating simulator has been added as an April Fool's joke for a game. Palworld is allegedly getting a dating simulator as well for April Fool's this year. Valorant also got one, called the Love Event, back in 2021, so dating simulators appear to be a go-to way of celebrating April Fool's while also allowing players to get rewards for playing the game.

While this one might require mostly out-of-main-game work to complete the multiple endings, fans are likely going to enjoy how absurd it is for PUBG: Battleground's weapons to become dateable humans, similar to indie games like Boyfriend Dungeon. Hopefully, there will be even sillier fun for this funny holiday in the future for this long-running game.
