Palworld’s expanding to mobile with a new MMORPG

Palworld Online will expand on the original game with a new setting and new story elements.

After its 1.0 launch last month , Palworld is coming to iOS and Android with a new open-world MMORPG launching later this year, Polygon reports. Garena, the developer behind the new game, says in its announcement that Palworld Online “reimagines the depth, freedom, and scale of the original PC survival creature-collecting title for mobile.”

The core features of the new mobile game sound a lot like the original Palworld , with crafting, creature collecting, and multiplayer options for co-op, PvP, and PvE. Garena says it will introduce a “new narrative setting with original story elements,” and “expand the narrative with new side stories created exclusively for this version.” It will also have a “streamlined, touch-friendly interface with optional one-tap controls” to handle base management on different sized mobile screens.

Palworld Online doesn’t have a specific release date yet, but if it does come out this year, it could arrive before the Palfarm spin-off Pocketpair announced last year, which also doesn’t have a release date yet.
