While a Nintendo Switch version of Palworld isn't entirely off the table, Pocketpair CEO Takuro Mizobe has voiced technical concerns regarding its feasibility.
In a recent interview, Mizobe discussed the hurdles in porting Palworld to the Switch, citing demanding PC specifications. While discussions about new platforms are ongoing, no concrete announcements are ready. Although the high PC requirements present a significant challenge, Mizobe remains open to expanding Palworld's reach to other consoles and mobile devices. Previous statements confirm ongoing talks for additional platform releases, but no specific platforms (PlayStation, Nintendo, or mobile) have been confirmed. He also clarified that while Pocketpair welcomes partnership and acquisition offers, they haven't engaged in buyout discussions with Microsoft.
Mizobe also shared his vision for expanding Palworld's multiplayer aspects. The upcoming arena mode, described as an experiment, is a stepping stone towards a full-fledged PvP mode. He expressed a desire to incorporate elements reminiscent of popular survival games like Ark and Rust, emphasizing challenging environments, complex resource management, and extensive player interaction, including alliances and PvP combat. Both Ark and Rust feature a blend of PvE and PvP gameplay, demanding survival against harsh environments and dangerous creatures.
Palworld's initial success is undeniable, boasting 15 million PC sales within its first month and attracting 10 million players on Xbox Game Pass. A significant update, the free Sakurajima update, is scheduled for release, introducing a new island, the highly anticipated PvP arena, and more.
