Palworld Mobile: PUBG Developers Announce New Project

Exciting news for fans of monster-catching games—Krafton, the powerhouse behind PUBG, is collaborating with Pocket Pair to bring the thrilling world of Palworld to mobile devices. PUBG Studios, a subsidiary of Krafton, will be spearheading the development of the mobile version, adapting Palworld's core gameplay to ensure a seamless experience on smartphones and tablets. This partnership marks a significant expansion of the Palworld IP into the mobile gaming arena.

Details Still Under Wraps

While specific details about the Palworld mobile version remain closely guarded, the excitement surrounding this project is palpable. Palworld made a splash on Xbox and Steam earlier this year and has recently expanded to PlayStation 5, though it's yet to launch in Japan. The absence of a Japan launch could be linked to an ongoing lawsuit involving Nintendo, which alleges that Pocket Pair's game infringes on patents related to the mechanics of throwing Pokéballs. Pocket Pair, however, maintains that they are unaware of any specific patent violations.

Krafton's Role in the Expansion

Given the complexities of expanding Palworld to mobile while still developing the original game, Pocket Pair's decision to partner with Krafton is a strategic move. Krafton's expertise in mobile gaming, demonstrated by their success with PUBG, positions them well to navigate the challenges of this project. However, fans should temper their excitement as the mobile version is likely in its early stages of development.

We eagerly await more information from Krafton and Pocket Pair about the Palworld mobile version. Will it be a direct port, or will it feature unique elements tailored for mobile gamers? In the meantime, you can explore the game's features and gameplay on its official Steam page.
