Development Update: No Concrete Plans Yet
In a recent interview, Mizobe discussed the difficulties associated with bringing Palworld to the Switch, citing the game's demanding PC specifications. While discussions about potential future platforms are ongoing, no official announcements regarding a Switch release, or other platforms like PlayStation or mobile, have been made. Earlier statements confirmed explorations into expanding to new platforms, but no concrete plans are currently finalized. The company has also confirmed they are open to partnerships or acquisitions, but haven't engaged in buyout discussions with Microsoft.
Future Vision: Enhanced Multiplayer and PvP
Mizobe also shared his vision for expanding Palworld's multiplayer capabilities. An upcoming arena mode, described as an experiment, will pave the way for more extensive multiplayer experiences, with a goal of implementing a robust PvP mode similar to the complexities found in Ark or Rust. These games, known for their challenging environments, resource management, and player interaction, serve as inspiration for Palworld's future development.
Impressive Launch and Upcoming Update
Palworld's successful launch, boasting 15 million PC copies sold within its first month and 10 million players on Xbox Game Pass, highlights its popularity. A significant update, the Sakurajima update, is set to launch soon, introducing a new island, the highly anticipated PvP arena, and more.
