Palworld Mobile: PUBG Creators Developing New Version

Exciting news for fans of monster-catching games: Krafton, the powerhouse behind PUBG, is teaming up with Pocket Pair to bring the wildly popular Palworld to mobile devices. This collaboration will see PUBG Studios, a Krafton subsidiary, adapting Palworld's core gameplay for mobile, expanding the Palworld intellectual property to new audiences.

What We Know So Far

While the specifics of the Palworld mobile version remain under wraps, the game has already made waves on Xbox, Steam, and recently on PlayStation 5 (though not yet in Japan). The exclusion from the Japanese market might be linked to an ongoing lawsuit filed by Nintendo, which alleges that Pocket Pair's Palworld infringes on patents related to the mechanics of throwing Pokéballs. Pocket Pair, however, claims they are unaware of any specific patent violations.

Krafton's Role in the Project

Given the complexities of expanding Palworld to mobile while still developing the original game, Pocket Pair has wisely enlisted Krafton's expertise. Although the mobile project is likely in its early stages, Krafton's involvement promises a robust adaptation. Fans eagerly await more details on whether the mobile version will be a direct port or feature unique elements tailored for mobile play.
