Palworld CEO says turning the hit survival game into a live-service title would "extend its lifespan," but "the most important thing is whether the players want it"

Palworld could end up going down the free-to-play live service route in the future, according to the CEO of developer Pocketpair, but ultimately, the "most important thing is whether the players want it or not."

In a new interview with ASCII, which has been translated by Automaton (and verified using Google and DeepL), Pocketpair CEO Takuro Mizobe discusses the future of Palworld, although he begins by clarifying that "things aren't decided yet" other than the fact that the hit survival game will continue to receive new content, like new Pals and maps. This aside, he notes that Palworld could take two directions, one of which is to evolve it into a live-service title.
