Palworld Mobile: PUBG Creators Announce Exciting Development

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 licensing agreement signifies a significant expansion of the Palworld IP.

While excitement is high, details about the mobile version remain scarce. The original Palworld launched on Xbox and Steam in January, later releasing on PlayStation 5 (excluding Japan). This exclusion may be linked to an ongoing legal dispute between Nintendo and Pocket Pair concerning alleged patent infringement related to the game's mechanics, specifically the resemblance to Pokémon's Pokéball system. 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, the mobile project is likely still in its early stages. We eagerly anticipate further details from Krafton and Pocket Pair, particularly regarding whether the mobile version will be a direct port or a modified experience. In the meantime, explore the official Steam page for a comprehensive overview of Palworld's gameplay and features.
