Palworld Mobile Version Is In The Works By The Makers Of PUBG

Krafton and Pocket Pair are joining forces to bring the monster-catching excitement of Palworld to mobile devices. Krafton, the studio behind the globally popular PUBG, is lending its expertise to adapt the core gameplay of Palworld for a mobile audience. This collaboration marks a significant expansion of the Palworld IP, developed by PUBG Studios, a Krafton subsidiary.

While details remain scarce, the mobile version of Palworld promises to bring the unique blend of monster collection and combat to smartphones and tablets. The original Palworld launched on Xbox and Steam in January, quickly gaining popularity, and recently arrived on PlayStation 5 (excluding Japan). This regional discrepancy may be linked to an ongoing legal dispute with Nintendo, alleging patent infringement concerning the mechanics of capturing Pals, similar to the way Pokémon are caught. Pocket Pair, Palworld’s developer, denies any knowledge of the specific patents allegedly infringed upon.

Krafton’s involvement is a strategic move, providing crucial support for Pocket Pair in adapting the game to a new platform. Given the game is still under active development, the mobile project is likely in its early stages. Further details, such as the extent of differences between the mobile and existing versions, are eagerly anticipated. In the meantime, fans can explore the official Steam page for a comprehensive overview of Palworld’s gameplay and features.
