Palworld Survival Game Expands to Mobile Despite Legal Challenges
Palworld Mobile Game Development
Krafton has announced that it's developing a Palworld mobile game in partnership with Pocketpair, despite Nintendo's ongoing legal action against the latter. Krafton is expanding the IP to mobile, but it's currently unclear how similar it'll be to the survival game megahit that first hit PC back in January.
Development and Legal Context
The game will be developed by PUBG Studios under Krafton. The studio's last game was PUBG: New State, which launched in 2021. Krafton's statement did not go into more detail on the game, nor the potential effect of Nintendo's legal action against Pocketpair.
- Nintendo has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the Palworld team.
- The lawsuit relates to alleged similarities to Pokemon.
- Last week's PlayStation 5 launch was only affected in Japan.
- It remains unclear how the mobile game's launch would be impacted.
