We’d known for a while that Pocketpair intended to turn Palworld into a multiple game franchise. Especially since there were already talks with KLab about it. Now, Garena confirmed it expects to release the Palworld Online MMORPG for mobile devices in 2026, and official social media accounts and a YouTube channel are already live for the Pal character-collecting game. 

While development is already underway on the title, we didn’t get a roadmap, initial screenshots, or any trailer yet. There’s only a confirmation that this will be an open world game that will still involve Pal-collecting, crafting hubs and production processes, and facing enemies. However, since this will be an MMORPG Palworld title, there will be both PvE with members you team up with to create bases and PvP with others online. 

The announcement also didn’t go over how the control will be adapted. Garena only mentioned in the initial statement that “optional one-tap controls” will be present alongside “touch-friendly” control adaptations. 

This comes after a number of other major Palworld announcements. The base game left early access. Different types of toys and blind boxes are available. There is also now a trading card game based on the series.

The Palworld Online MMORPG is in development for Android and iOS mobile devices worldwide. Palworld is on the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC globally.
