Krafton and Pocket Pair are collaborating to bring the monster-collecting game, Palworld, to mobile devices. Krafton, known for PUBG, will leverage its expertise through its subsidiary, PUBG Studios, to adapt Palworld's gameplay for mobile platforms. This partnership signifies an expansion of the Palworld intellectual property.
While details remain scarce, the mobile version is currently under development. The original Palworld game, released on Xbox and Steam in January, and later on PlayStation 5 (excluding Japan), has garnered significant popularity. The exclusion of Japan from the PS5 launch may be attributed to an ongoing legal dispute with Nintendo over alleged patent infringement concerning the mechanics of capturing creatures. Nintendo's claims focus on Pocket Pair's alleged infringement of patents related to the way players capture creatures, a point Pocket Pair disputes.
Krafton's involvement is strategically crucial for Pocket Pair, as they're simultaneously developing the existing game. However, it's likely the mobile project is in its early stages, so substantial information is yet to be revealed. Further details regarding the mobile version's features and whether it will be a direct port or a modified adaptation are eagerly anticipated.
In the meantime, interested players can explore the official Steam page for a comprehensive overview of Palworld's gameplay and features. For more gaming news, check out our coverage of The Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross’ Four Knights of the Apocalypse.
