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, is lending its expertise to adapt the core gameplay for a mobile audience. This licensing agreement represents a significant expansion of the Palworld IP.
However, details remain scarce. The original Palworld launched on Xbox and Steam in January, later arriving on PlayStation 5 (excluding Japan). This exclusion may be linked to an ongoing lawsuit filed by Nintendo, alleging patent infringement related to the game's catching mechanics. Pocket Pair, Palworld's developer, denies any knowledge of the specific patents in question.
The collaboration with Krafton is a strategic move, given Pocket Pair's current focus on developing the existing game. Krafton's experience makes them ideally suited to tackle the challenges of a mobile port. While exciting, it's crucial to remember the mobile project is likely in its early stages.
We eagerly await further information from Krafton and Pocket Pair regarding the mobile Palworld version. Key questions remain: will it be a direct port, or will it feature unique adaptations? For now, interested players can explore the game's official Steam page for details on gameplay and features.
