Palworld Mobile Is In The Works By The Makers Of PUBG

droidgamers.com:

Looks like Krafton is teaming up with Pocket Pair to give us a mobile version of Palworld soon. You might already know Krafton from their work on PUBG, and now they’re diving into the monster-catching world of Palworld.

The mobile version of Palworld will be developed by PUBG Studios, a subsidiary of Krafton. They’ll be adapting the core gameplay of Palworld to suit mobile devices. This licensing deal means they’ll be expanding the Palworld IP.

Specific details of the upcoming Palworld mobile version are being kept under wraps for now. Palworld hit Xbox and Steam in January this year and quickly became a hit. It made its way to PlayStation 5 recently, although not yet in Japan.

Well, the global launch of PS5 ‘except Japan’ was possibly due to Nintendo’s ongoing lawsuit over alleged patent infringement. You must have already seen that there is a bit of resemblance between Pokémon and Palworld, the latter has even been named ‘Pokémon with guns’ by some players.

Nintendo reportedly claims that Pocket Pair infringed on patents related to the way players throw Pokéballs. However, Pocket Pair insists they have no idea what specific patents they might have stepped on.

It’ll be a difficult task for Pocket Pair to expand Palworld to mobile since they’re still building on the existing game. So, bringing in an expert like Krafton makes perfect sense. But don’t get your hopes up too high, as the mobile project is probably still in its early stages.

I hope Krafton and Pocket Pair give us more details of the Palworld mobile version soon. I’m sure you’d love to know things like if it’s going to be a direct port or something a bit different. Meanwhile, you can check out the official Steam page of the game to learn about the gameplay and features.
