PUBG Creators Announce Palworld Mobile Game in Development

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, expanding the game's reach. Development will be handled by PUBG Studios, a Krafton subsidiary.

While details remain scarce, this collaboration is significant given Palworld's recent success on Xbox, Steam, and PlayStation 5 (excluding Japan, potentially due to an ongoing legal dispute with Nintendo over alleged patent infringement concerning Pokéball mechanics). The game, often described as "Pokémon with guns," has faced scrutiny over its resemblance to the Pokémon franchise. Pocket Pair denies any intentional infringement.

Krafton's involvement is crucial, providing much-needed support for Pocket Pair in navigating the complexities of mobile development. However, the mobile project is likely in its early stages, so substantial information remains unavailable. Further details regarding the mobile adaptation – whether it will be a direct port or a modified experience – are eagerly anticipated. In the meantime, prospective players can explore the official Steam page for a comprehensive overview of the game's features and gameplay.
