- Just over a week after Palworld developer Pocketpair shadow dropped the open-world survival RPG on PlayStation 5, it's entered an agreement with a partner to bring it to mobile platforms.
- Specifically, Pocketpair is working with Krafton, the publisher behind the highly popular battle royale shooter PUBG: Battlegrounds.
- PUBG Studios — the PUBG developer under Krafton's wing — will handle the process of making the mobile port. Notably, this team co-developed the mobile version of PUBG that released in 2018.
- It's unclear how Nintendo's looming lawsuit against Pocketpair for Palworld's similarity to Pokémon will affect the mobile version's development, though based on how the PS5 release was delayed indefinitely in Japan, it's likely the mobile edition's will be too as long as the suit is active.
