Studio publishing division of Palworld secures another "thrilling title" for its roster, shortly following the launch of a horror game with contributions from Baldur's Gate 3 and Final Fantasy teams.
Pocketpair Publishing Unveils Exciting New Game: Palworld Takes Centre Stage
Pocketpair Publishing, the game studio behind the successful monster-catching game Palworld, has announced that they are working on a new, exciting game. John "Bucky" Buckley, a manager at Pocketpair Publishing, confirmed the signing of this new title in mid-August 2023 [1].
The new game, yet to be officially named, is a continuation of Pocketpair's commitment to funding high-quality games by other developers. Established by the team behind Palworld, Pocketpair Publishing serves as a platform to support and nurture innovative gaming projects [2].
Palworld, Pocketpair's inaugural title, has been a significant success since its release, despite facing legal challenges from Nintendo. The game, which bears resemblance to Pokémon, has continued to receive significant updates and expansions, demonstrating Pocketpair's dedication to its future [3][4]. As of mid-August 2023, there is no mention of a separate new game being signed or teased by Pocketpair besides Palworld.
Meanwhile, Palworld's latest update is soaring in popularity, maintaining the game's position as a fan favourite. The update includes numerous improvements and new features, ensuring that the game remains fresh and engaging for players [5].
In addition to Palworld, Pocketpair Publishing has also published Dead Take, a horror game developed by Surgent Studios. The first game published by Pocketpair, Dead Take features Neil Newbon, known for Baldur's Gate 3, and Ben Starr, known for Final Fantasy 16, in lead roles [6].
Bucky from Pocketpair Publishing has expressed interest in the FPS game that Romero Games was working on with Microsoft. However, the project was put on hold due to Microsoft's massive round of layoffs in 2022 [7].
Pocketpair Publishing has also received 150 game pitches within its first week and is expected to reveal more information about its other games, including titles outside of Truckful, its already-announced second title, soon [8].
