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 the core gameplay for a mobile audience through its subsidiary, PUBG Studios. This licensing agreement signifies a significant expansion of the Palworld intellectual property.
However, details regarding the mobile adaptation remain scarce. The original Palworld game launched on Xbox and Steam in January, achieving considerable success and later releasing on PlayStation 5 (excluding Japan). This regional exclusion is potentially linked to an ongoing legal dispute with Nintendo over alleged patent infringement concerning the mechanics of capturing creatures. Nintendo alleges patent infringement related to the "throwing" mechanic, while Pocket Pair claims unawareness of the specific patents in question.
Given Pocket Pair's current focus on developing the existing Palworld game, partnering with Krafton's mobile development expertise is a strategic move. While exciting, the mobile project is likely in its early stages, and further information is eagerly anticipated. Fans are keen to learn whether the mobile version will be a direct port or a modified experience. For now, the official Steam page offers a comprehensive overview of the game's features and gameplay.
