Pocketpair Unveils 'Palworld Online,' a New MMO Set for 2026 Pocketpair, the developer behind the wildly successful survival game Palworld, has announced a new entry in its expanding franchise: Palworld Online, an MMO set to launch on mobile platforms in 2026. The project, developed by Garena under an official Pocketpair license, aims to capitalize on the momentum of the original game’s Steam launch, which achieved record-breaking numbers. While the main game’s console and PC versions have yet to be tracked, its mobile counterpart has already drawn significant attention. Palworld Online will be available on iOS and Android, with a release date scheduled for later in 2026. Garena, a Singapore-based developer with over 15 years of experience in mobile gaming, will handle the project. The company is known for its work on titles like Path of Exile, League of Legends, Need for Speed, and EA Sports FC, lending credibility to the partnership. However, the decision to outsource the mobile MMO has sparked mixed reactions, as some players may view mobile platforms as a limiting factor for the series’ expansive gameplay. The new game will feature a distinct storyline, new quests, and expanded lore, diverging from the existing Palworld mobile game developed by Krafton. While the original mobile version focuses on core mechanics like Pal capturing and base building, Palworld Online will introduce MMO-style co-op play and PvE elements. It will also include a seamless open-world design, though details about new maps or Pals remain unspecified. One notable omission is the absence of microtransactions, a common feature in mobile games, which has raised questions about the game’s monetization strategy.#palworld #krafton #garena #pocketpair #takura_mizobe
