Pocketpair CEO Highlights Surge of Palworld Clones with Massive Budgets

Takuro Mizobe, CEO of Pocketpair, expresses mixed feelings about the influx of high-budget Palworld clones spearheaded by Tencent.

Pocketpair CEO Takuro Mizobe calls out Tencent for creating a clone of their game Palworld, emphasizing the large budgets involved.
The clone games, including Tencent's 'Auroria', boast budgets about 10 times larger than Palworld, signaling a significant investment in similar titles.
Despite initial concerns, Mizobe acknowledges the innovation and potential in the emerging market of creature-raising games with Genshin Impact-level quality.
Players and developers alike have reacted to the news, with some seeing it as a testament to Palworld's success and influence.
The trend of cloning popular games continues, with multiple companies developing their versions of Palworld, set to enrich the gaming landscape.
