Pocketpair isn't trying to turn Palworld into a "media empire," according to the company's head of publishing and communications John 'Bucky' Buckley. All of its fledgling spinoffs are simply a product of fan demand.
In an interview with GamesRadar+ at GDC 2026, Buckley called out the common misconception that Pocketpair are "trying to turn Palworld into this big, big, big, big, big, big thing." Bigger than it already is, he means. To Buckley, "it's more so that we're just kind of doing what our players are asking us to do."
