The general community believes that the future of Palworld is uncertain, as Nintendo and The Pokémon Company recently sued Pocketpair. Despite this legal conflict, the indie studio has continued working to expand its popular franchise, which originally debuted for Xbox and PC.
A few days ago, Pocketpair surprised everyone by announcing the arrival of Palworld to PlayStation 5. Additionally, we know that they have a deal with Sony to expand the IP in various ways. Now, the developer has announced a new partnership that will also help grow the saga.
Through a statement, Pocketpair confirmed that it will work with Krafton on a new game for Palworld. The South Korean company has acquired the license rights to bring the title to more devices with a project that has yet to be revealed.
Krafton will make a new Palworld game for mobile
Pocketpair and Krafton have signed a licensing agreement to expand Palworld to mobile devices. This will be possible through the development of a new game for iOS and Android that will reimagine and adapt the mechanics of the original title for consoles and PC.
The project will be handled by PUBG Studios, a subsidiary of Krafton, which, as its name suggests, works on the still-successful Battle Royale. For now, there are no specific details about the game; we only know that it will take the core of Palworld and adapt it for mobile.
The studios will share more information about it in the future. The new project makes it clear that Pocketpair will continue to expand the reach of its popular franchise despite the legal battle it faces with Nintendo.
The lawsuit affected the game's release on PlayStation 5, but only in Japan. This suggests that the new mobile title, at least for now, would not have any issues debuting worldwide. The project seems to be in its early stages of development, and it is unclear when it will launch. Thus, everything will depend on how the conflict between Nintendo and Pocketpair evolves.
