Palworld now coming for Pokémon TCG's lunch with its own card game

Pocketpair has partnered with TCG specialist Bushiroad to launch the "Palworld Official Card Game" on July 30, 2026. This 2-player competitive game will adapt core mechanics from the video game, including resource management and base building.

The first set will feature all-new illustrations for Pals like Lamball and Chillet rather than reused assets. The announcement comes amid Pocketpair's ongoing high-profile patent litigation with Nintendo and The Pokémon Company. (Source: Polygon)
