Bushiroad and Pocketpair Announce Palworld Trading Card Game for July 30, 2026

The reveal lands with IP questions still pending from Nintendo-related litigation.

Overview

  • Bushiroad and Pocketpair describe a two-player game focused on strategic battles by deploying Pals, using their traits, gathering resources, and building bases.
  • Developers say it mirrors Palworld’s creature collecting, base management, and tactical combat rather than serving as a simple reskin.
  • The release is scheduled for July 30, 2026, with additional product information to be revealed ahead of launch.
  • Pricing, card lists, and starter deck plans remain undisclosed.
  • The rollout tracks earlier share transactions involving Pocketpair, Animate subsidiary COS, and Bushiroad, and arrives during litigation with Nintendo that includes a USPTO-ordered patent reexamination.
