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 mobile platforms through its subsidiary, PUBG Studios. This collaboration represents a significant expansion of the Palworld intellectual property.

While excitement is high, details regarding the mobile version remain scarce. The original Palworld launched on Xbox and Steam earlier this year, achieving significant popularity, and recently arrived on PlayStation 5 (excluding Japan). This regional exclusion is potentially linked to an ongoing legal dispute between Nintendo and Pocket Pair, concerning alleged patent infringement related to the game's mechanics. Nintendo claims infringement on Pokéball-related patents, while Pocket Pair denies any knowledge of specific patent violations.

Krafton's involvement is strategic, offering much-needed development support to Pocket Pair amidst ongoing expansion and legal challenges. However, the mobile project is likely in its early stages, meaning a release date and specific features remain unconfirmed. Further details from Krafton and Pocket Pair are eagerly awaited. In the meantime, players can explore the official Steam page for a deeper understanding of Palworld's gameplay and features.
