Palworld Devs Open to Handing IP to the Right Studio for a Spin-Off, But Not a Balatro or Clair Obscur–Style Game: “As Long as It’s Something the Players Want

Palworld is already branching out into a variety of quirky directions, from the multiplayer farming spin-off Palworld: Palfarm to a cursed high school dating sim featuring the Pals. Developer Pocketpair is open to more oddball offshoots, but only if they make sense within Palworld’s absurd universe.

Publishing and communications director John ‘Bucky’ Buckley told GamesRadar+ at GDC that while the studio isn’t aiming to create a full media empire, “we can expect more kind of fun little Palworld stuff.” He added that the team is “happy to have those conversations” with outside developers for spin-offs, “as long as it’s different and as long as it’s something that the players want.”
