Pocketpair Teams With Bushiroad on Palworld Official Card Game, Global Launch Set for July 30

Key specifics remain undisclosed, with coverage framed by Nintendo's ongoing lawsuit.

Overview

  • The two-player competitive game adapts Palworld’s core loop by deploying Pals, gathering resources, and building bases during matches.
  • A teaser and early card mock-ups accompanied the reveal, with fuller gameplay rules, pricing, and product details still to come.
  • Japanese materials note booster packs and trial decks at launch and a showcase at Card Game Festival 2026 on May 3–4 at Tokyo Big Sight.
  • Bushiroad, publisher of established TCGs like Cardfight!! Vanguard, will produce and distribute the Palworld card game worldwide.
  • Platforms and format have not been confirmed, and the announcement has renewed Pokémon comparisons as a Pocketpair developer pushed back at critics online.
