Palworld Mobile Version Is In The Works By The Makers Of PUBG

Krafton and Pocket Pair are joining forces to bring the monster-catching game, Palworld, to mobile devices! Krafton, known for PUBG, will leverage its expertise to adapt Palworld's core gameplay for a mobile audience through its subsidiary, PUBG Studios. This collaboration signifies a significant expansion of the Palworld IP.

While excitement is high, details about the mobile version remain scarce. The original Palworld game launched on Xbox and Steam earlier this year, quickly gaining popularity and later releasing on PlayStation 5 (excluding Japan). This exclusion may be linked to an ongoing legal dispute between Nintendo and Pocket Pair regarding potential patent infringement related to the game's mechanics, specifically the similarities between Palworld's creature-capturing system and Pokémon's Pokéball mechanics. Pocket Pair denies any knowledge of the specific patents in question.

Krafton's involvement is crucial, given Pocket Pair's current focus on developing the existing game. However, it's important to remember that the mobile project is likely in its early stages. We eagerly anticipate further announcements from Krafton and Pocket Pair regarding the mobile version's features and whether it will be a direct port or a more tailored mobile experience. In the meantime, you can explore the official Steam page for a deeper dive into Palworld's gameplay.
