No release window was mentioned.<\/p>\n<p>PUBG Studios is the development arm behind the phenomenally successful battle royale as well as its equally successful mobile versions. Indeed, PUBG Mobile has had over one billion players since launching in March 2018.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement of Palworld mobile comes hot on the heels of Nintendo and The Pok\u00e9mon Company\u2019s joint lawsuit against Pocketpair for alleged patent infringement, and the subsequent launch of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/palworld-ps5-release-postponed-in-japan-amid-nintendo-pokmon-patent-lawsuit\">Palworld on PlayStation 5 everywhere except Japan<\/a>, where the lawsuit was filed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/palworld-developer-pocketpair-responds-to-nintendo-pokmon-lawsuit-says-its-unaware-of-the-patents-its-accused-of-infringing\">Pocketpair has insisted<\/a> it has no idea which patents it\u2019s accused of infringing, but experts have pointed to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/nintendo-vs-palworld-killer-patent-may-be-about-the-mechanic-of-catching-pokmon\">\u201ckiller patent\u201d that revolves around the mechanic of catching Pok\u00e9mon itself<\/a>. Last week, one patent expert said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/pokmon-lawsuit-shows-just-how-seriously-nintendo-views-the-threat-of-palworld-patent-expert-says\">the lawsuit shows \u201cjust how seriously Nintendo views the threat of Palworld.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p>After Palworld\u2019s huge launch earlier this year on PC and Xbox, comparisons were made between Palworld\u2019s Pals and Pok\u00e9mon, with some accusing Pocketpair of &#8220;ripping off&#8221; Pok\u00e9mon designs. But rather than file a copyright infringement lawsuit, Nintendo and The Pok\u00e9mon Company have gone down the patent route.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that Palworld <em>does<\/em> include a mechanic that involves throwing a ball-like object (called a Pal Sphere) at monsters out in a field to capture them, similar to the mechanic seen in the 2022 Nintendo Switch exclusive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/pokemon-legends-arceus\">Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Arceus<\/a>, and this may prove the key to the lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>Palworld launched on Steam priced $30 and straight into Game Pass on Xbox and PC earlier this year, breaking sales and concurrent player number records in the process. Pocketpair boss Takuro Mizobe has said Palworld&#8217;s launch was so big that the developer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/palworld-dev-says-massive-profits-are-too-big-for-a-studio-with-our-size-to-handle\">couldn\u2019t handle the massive profits the game generated<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Still, Pocketpair acted swiftly to capitalize on Palworld\u2019s breakout success, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/palworld-dev-signs-deal-with-sony-to-form-palworld-entertainment-and-expand-the-ip\">signing a deal with Sony<\/a> to form a new business called Palworld Entertainment that\u2019s tasked with expanding the IP.<\/p>\n<p>While the Pok\u00e9mon games are mostly at home on consoles, Nintendo has launched a number of spin-offs aimed at other devices, including mobile. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/pokemon-go\">Pok\u00e9mon GO<\/a> has seen enormous success since launching in 2016, generating billions of dollars in revenue. There\u2019s also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/pokemon-unite\">Pok\u00e9mon Unite<\/a>, a MOBA released for mobile and Nintendo Switch, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/pokemon-sleep\">Pok\u00e9mon Sleep<\/a>, a sleep-tracking game that rewards the user with Pok\u00e9mon depending on the quality of their sleep.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, a new Pok\u00e9mon mobile game is right around the corner: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/pokemon-trading-card-game-pocket\">Pok\u00e9mon Trading Card Game Pocket<\/a>, a mobile version of the Pokemon TCG, launches October 30, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Pocketpair has said it will begrudgingly investigate the patent infringement claims while continuing to update Palworld despite the lawsuit, and apologized to players left concerned about the future of the game.<\/p>\n<p><em>Wesley is the UK News Editor for IGN.
