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

Krafton and Pocket Pair are joining forces to bring the monster-collecting game, Palworld, to mobile devices. Krafton, known for PUBG, will leverage its expertise to adapt Palworld's core gameplay for a mobile audience through its subsidiary, PUBG Studios. This partnership signifies an expansion of the Palworld intellectual property.

While excitement is high, details about the mobile version remain scarce. The original Palworld game launched on Xbox and Steam earlier this year, quickly gaining popularity, and recently arrived on PlayStation 5 (excluding Japan). This regional PS5 release delay is possibly linked to an ongoing legal dispute between Nintendo and Pocket Pair. Nintendo alleges patent infringement concerning the mechanics of capturing creatures, a similarity some have compared to Pokémon, leading to Palworld being dubbed "Pokémon with guns" by some. Pocket Pair, however, claims unawareness of the specific patents in question.

Krafton's involvement is strategic, given Pocket Pair's current focus on developing the existing game. Their expertise in mobile game development will be crucial. However, it's important to remember the mobile project is likely in its early stages.

Further details regarding the mobile adaptation—whether it will be a direct port or a modified version—are eagerly awaited. For now, fans can explore the official Steam page for a better understanding of the game's core mechanics and features.
