Exciting news for fans of monster-catching adventures: Krafton, the powerhouse behind PUBG, is collaborating with Pocket Pair to bring the wildly popular game Palworld to mobile devices. This venture will see PUBG Studios, a Krafton subsidiary, taking the helm to adapt Palworld's core gameplay for a seamless mobile experience. This move is part of a broader strategy to expand the Palworld IP, leveraging Krafton's expertise in mobile gaming.
Details Still Under Wraps
While the anticipation builds, specific details about the mobile version of Palworld remain closely guarded. Since its initial release on Xbox and Steam earlier this year, Palworld has captured the hearts of gamers worldwide, with a subsequent launch on PlayStation 5 (except in Japan). The exclusion from the Japanese market might be linked to ongoing legal issues with Nintendo, who has accused Pocket Pair of patent infringement related to the mechanics of throwing Pokéballs. Pocket Pair, on the other hand, claims to be unaware of the specific patents in question.
Krafton's Role in the Expansion
Expanding Palworld to mobile platforms poses a significant challenge, especially as Pocket Pair continues to develop the existing game. This is where Krafton steps in, bringing their expertise to the table to help navigate the complexities of mobile game development. While the project is still in its early stages, the collaboration promises an exciting future for Palworld on mobile devices.
As we await more information on what the mobile version of Palworld will entail—whether it will be a direct port or something uniquely adapted for mobile—fans can keep up to date by visiting the game's official Steam page. There, you can explore the gameplay and features that have made Palworld a standout title.
