Palworld is preparing an attack on mobile phones with the help of the creators of PUBG

The unprecedented success he achieved Palworld After making its debut on PC and Xbox earlier this year, it will soon be available to play on mobile devices. To achieve this goal, its developers entered into an alliance with Craftoncreators of the popular battle royale PUBG.

Through my Korean blog, Krafton announces takeout deal with Pocketpair studio Palworld to mobile phones. The company received a global license to be responsible for developing a new version of “Pokemon with weapons”, which will appear on iOS and Android in the future.

Details about the project are still very scarce, but the fact is that sooner or later Palworld will make its long-awaited debut on mobile devices. A bet that could be crucial to securing your future, given that smartphone and tablet games generate a lot of money.

It’s unclear whether Pocketpair and Krafton will create a mobile version that replicates the experience Palworld on PC and consoles, or if it would be an offering independent from the main game that adapts the overall concept and characters to a different gaming environment and to the game’s specific characteristics. mobile gamesHow microtransactions.

According to Crafton, their plan is to “fairly reimagine and implement the core fun elements of the original game for the mobile environment.” In saying this, they might point to the second scenario we propose. Despite this, we will have to wait for more official news.

Palworld will come to mobile phones from the creators PUBG

Mobile version Palworld will be responsible for PUBG Studioscreative team behind PUBG:Battlegrounds And PUBG Mobile version. Krafton has proven to have extensive experience and success in developing and monetizing games with a strong presence in the mobile segment, making it the ideal partner for Pocketpair to gain a foothold in this space.

Palworld It’s not quite the same buzz it was earlier this year, but the game is still quite popular on Steam and Xbox. Additionally, it was recently announced to debut on PS5, expanding its availability on consoles. Yes indeed not everything is so rosy.

A few days before the lawsuit against him became known, Takuro Mizobe, the head of the company responsible for Palworldadmitted that they analyzed Which Path to Take to Guarantee the Future of Video Games.

Changing your distribution strategy would mean turning it into free to play and add new monetization options in the game. Something that will take several years to implement.

Creating a mobile version with Krafton could be the answer to how to increase profitability Palworld without changing the main game. It wouldn’t be strange if this option was offered for free and with microtransactions. But there is no confirmation of this yet, these are just assumptions.
