It has been announced that Krafton and Pocketpair have entered into a licensing agreement that will see the former developing a mobile version of Palworld. Specifically, PUBG Studios will be developing the game, with Krafton stating that it intends to “faithfully reinterpret and implement the main fun elements of the original for the mobile environment.”

This isn’t the first we’ve seen of Pocketpair partnering with third-parties in its efforts to expand the Palworld IP. Earlier this year, the company established Palworld Entertainment alongside Aniplex and Sony Music Entertainment with the goal of “developing the reach of the intellectual property”.

In September, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company filed a lawsuit against Pocketpair for patent infringement. Pocketpair says it will do its best to “ensure that indie game developers are not hindered or discouraged from pursuing their creative ideas.” Read more on that through here.

PUBG Studios parent company Krafton holds some minority stake within Greene’s company, which is currently exploring systems for massive open-world games. Of course, this hints at something related to Greene’s previous works such as PUBG – but no confirmed details are known as of yet. There’s also a new IP in the works at Greene’s studio titled Prologue, which is also mostly shrouded in mystery.

Earlier last month, PUBG‘s official name was changed from PlayerUnknown Battlegrounds to PUBG: Battlegrounds. A free-to-play trial was also conducted a while before, where player response was rumored to be gauged in an effort to turn the game into free-to-play for the future.
