Krafton is joining forces with Pocket Pair to bring Palworld to mobile devices soon. As the creator of PUBG, Krafton now sets its sights on the monster-taming universe of Palworld.
The mobile adaptation will be handled by PUBG Studios, a subsidiary of Krafton. They're adapting Palworld's core mechanics for handheld gameplay through this licensing agreement, which will expand the Palworld franchise.
Specifics about the mobile version are currently scarce. Following its January launch on Xbox and Steam, Palworld became an instant success. It recently arrived on PlayStation 5, though notably absent from Japanese markets.
The global PS5 release's exclusion of Japan may relate to Nintendo's patent infringement lawsuit. Many players have noted similarities between Palworld and Pokémon, with some dubbing it "Pokémon with guns."
Nintendo alleges Pocket Pair violated patents regarding monster-catching mechanics, while the developer maintains uncertainty about which specific patents are in question.
With Pocket Pair focused on expanding the base game, mobile development presents significant challenges. Krafton's involvement provides necessary expertise, though expectations should be tempered as the project appears in early development.
Fans eagerly await further details about whether the mobile version will be a direct port or feature unique elements. In the meantime, the official Steam page offers comprehensive information about gameplay and features.
