Garena announced on the 3rd that it has signed an official licensing agreement with Japanese game developer PocketPair to release 'Palworld Online,' a new mobile MORPG based on the globally popular IP 'Palworld.'

Developed and published by Garena in close collaboration with PocketPair, 'Palworld Online' is a multiplayer survival adventure game that reimagines the depth, freedom, and massive scale of the original PC title for the mobile environment.

Set in a vast, seamless open world, 'Palworld Online' offers a variety of exploration and collection content, ranging from capturing and raising Pals to pioneering new regions. Notably, the game will feature an original story exclusive to 'Palworld Online,' providing new experiences for existing fans.

The title also emphasizes cooperation and shared growth, allowing players to meet others from around the world, form parties, build bases, and engage in multiplayer content.

Players can experience the fun of strategic gameplay through various combat modes, such as tackling challenging PvE content with friends or engaging in intense PVP battles. Additionally, players can collaborate to create social spaces, expanding buildings and deploying Pals to automate production and defend their bases.

Furthermore, the intuitive touch interface and one-touch controls, designed with mobile accessibility in mind, lower the barrier to entry for beginners by making it easy to manage base planning, construction, relocation, and Pal deployment.

"Palworld is an IP with broad global recognition, and we are excited to bring the core experience of the PC title to mobile so that more players can enjoy it together," said Terry Zhao, CEO of Garena. "We are working closely with PocketPair to focus on delivering an experience optimized for mobile while maintaining the depth, immersion, and freedom that define Palworld."

Takuro Mizobe, CEO of PocketPair, added, "Garena possesses exceptional capabilities in global publishing, localization, and live services for mobile games. We are very pleased to be working with Garena on the licensed development of 'Palworld Online' and look forward to delivering a new Palworld experience to players around the world."

'Palworld Online' is scheduled for release in 2026, with further details, including a specific launch schedule, to be announced sequentially through official channels.
