PUBG developer is making Palworld mobile amid Nintendo lawsuit

Palworld developer Pocketpair may be facing a lawsuit from Nintendo, but that’s not stopping it from pursuing a mobile version of the game. On Wednesday, Krafton — the publisher behind PUBG: Battlegrounds — announced that it acquired the license for Palworld and will optimize it for mobile gaming, as reported earlier by Polygon.

According to a translated version of the post, Krafton says it aims to “faithfully reinterpret” Palworld’s “main fun elements to fit the mobile environment.” Krafton also created a mobile version of PUBG in 2018, and as The Verge pointed out at the time, it turned out better than expected.
