Palworld Mobile Coming Soon

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 Palworld's core gameplay for a mobile audience. This collaboration signifies a significant expansion of the Palworld intellectual property.

However, details about the mobile adaptation remain scarce. The original Palworld game launched on Xbox and Steam in January, later releasing on PlayStation 5 (excluding Japan). This exclusion is reportedly linked to an ongoing legal dispute between Nintendo and Pocket Pair concerning potential patent infringement related to the game's mechanics, specifically resembling Pokémon's Pokéball system. While Nintendo alleges patent infringement, Pocket Pair claims unawareness of the specific patents in question.

This partnership with Krafton is strategic for Pocket Pair, which is currently focused on developing the existing game. Krafton's experience in mobile game development makes them an ideal partner for this ambitious project. While exciting, it's important to remember that the mobile version is likely still in its early stages.

Further details regarding the mobile version of Palworld—such as whether it will be a direct port or a unique adaptation—are eagerly anticipated. In the meantime, interested players can explore the official Steam page for a comprehensive overview of the game's features and gameplay.
