Krafton has singed an agreement with Palworld developers Pockerpair to bring Palworld to mobile.
The announcement comes from a Krafton Press Release, which reveals that the company has signed a licensing agreement for the intellectual property (IP) of ‘Palworld.’
The announcement reads that, “Through this contract, Krafton will expand the Palworld IP to the mobile platform. It plans to faithfully reinterpret and implement the original’s main fun elements to fit the mobile environment. The project will be handled by the development team of ‘PUBG STUDIOS,’ a creative studio under Krafton.”
Palworld’s release on PC and Xbox attracted 25 million players and reached the third-highest number of concurrent users on Steam of all time. The game made its debut on the PlayStation 5 in September.
Last month, it was revealed that Nintendo will be pursuing legal action over Palworld for patent infringement, to which Pocketpair replied that, “we will do our utmost for our fans, and to ensure that indie game developers are not hindered or discouraged from pursuing their creative ideas.”
Despite its success, the game received some community backlash upon its release due to its overwhelming similarities to Pokemon. Many fans of Pokemon compared the images and assets online accusing Pocketpair of plagiarism and the conversation around the issue has seemingly never been squashed.
