Pocketpair Prioritizes Indie Spirit Over Big Budgets for Next Game

Despite Palworld's massive success, the developer opts for creative freedom and manageable projects.

CEO Takuro Mizobe confirms the studio's next game won't utilize Palworld's huge profits for a large-scale production.
Palworld's unexpected success has generated tens of billions of yen, but Pocketpair lacks the infrastructure for AAA-level games.
Mizobe emphasizes a preference for pursuing interesting indie projects rather than high-budget titles.
Palworld Entertainment, a new joint venture with Sony Music and Aniplex, will handle licensing and merchandising.
Palworld continues to grow with regular updates and potential platform expansions under discussion.
