The global hit franchise Palworld is officially making its way to smartphones. Pocketpair and Garena have revealed Palworld Online, an officially licensed mobile project designed from the ground up to offer an expansive multiplayer survival experience for iOS and Android players worldwide.
A Seamless Parallel World Built for Mobile
Rather than a direct port of the PC and console original, Palworld Online introduces a parallel world tailored specifically for mobile touch controls and online live operations. Players will enter a living open-world ecosystem featuring hundreds of unique Pals to encounter, capture, and train alongside friends in real time.
Key Game Features
- Shared Bases & Large-Scale Multiplayer: Team up with friends in a seamless open world to design, manage, and automate complex production bases together.
- Co-op PvE and Tactical PvP: Tackle massive world bosses, conquer co-op dungeons, or challenge rival players in high-stakes PvP arenas.
- Social Hubs & Trading: Meet other players in dedicated social hubs, form guilds, and trade Pals and crafting materials freely.
- All-New Storyline: Dive into an original narrative arc exclusive to this mobile release.
"Garena has extensive experience in global publishing, localisation, and live operations for mobile games. We are pleased to work with Garena on the licensed development of Palworld Online and look forward to seeing a new Palworld experience brought to players worldwide."
— Takuro Mizobe, CEO of Pocketpair
