-Delivers the core fun of the original title along with mobile-exclusive features
-Expectations rise for the ‘Player Pal Skill System’ and multiplayer raids

 

KRAFTON announced that it will hold a closed alpha test for the open-world survival crafting game ‘Palworld Mobile’ in Korea and Japan this December (KST). This marks the first test since development began, and applications will remain open until November 26.

‘Palworld Mobile’ is a mobile title based on the ‘Palworld’ IP created by Japanese game developer Pocketpair, Inc. The game reimagines the globally successful ‘Palworld’ for mobile platforms, adapting its world and core gameplay to suit on-the-go environments. Players will explore vast fields alongside the mysterious creature known as a ‘Pal’, engaging in survival, crafting, and dynamic combat.

While faithfully inheriting the appeal of the original game, the mobile version introduces an enhanced shooter-style combat system, strategic battles that utilise Pals as unique ‘skills’, and mobile-exclusive features such as cooperative plazas and boss raids.

‘Palworld Mobile’ retains the original game’s Pal-raising, open-world survival, and building systems, while strengthening platform-optimised intuitive gameplay and skill-based strategic combat. The development team plans to refine the game further after incorporating player feedback from the upcoming alpha test.
