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

Krafton and Pocket Pair are joining forces to bring a mobile version of the popular monster-catching game, Palworld, to mobile devices. Krafton, known for PUBG, will leverage its expertise to adapt the core gameplay for a mobile audience through its subsidiary, PUBG Studios. This licensing agreement signifies a significant expansion of the Palworld intellectual property.

However, details regarding the mobile adaptation remain scarce. The original Palworld game launched on Xbox and Steam in January, achieving considerable success and later releasing on PlayStation 5 (excluding Japan). The Japan-specific delay is potentially linked to an ongoing legal dispute with Nintendo, alleging patent infringement concerning the mechanics of capturing Pals (similar to Pokémon). Pocket Pair denies any knowledge of the specific patents in question.

Krafton's involvement is strategically crucial, given Pocket Pair's current focus on developing the existing game. While the partnership is promising, the mobile project is likely in its early stages. Further details, such as whether the mobile version will be a direct port or a modified experience, are eagerly awaited. In the meantime, players can explore the official Steam page for a comprehensive overview of Palworld's gameplay and features.
