Palworld is expanding again, but the next game is not Palworld 2. Garena has announced Palworld Online, an officially licensed mobile MMORPG for iOS and Android. Pocketpair owns the series, while Garena is developing and publishing this version. The companies plan to release it in 2026, although they have not given an exact date.
The announcement keeps the familiar mix of catching Pals, building bases, crafting equipment, exploring, and fighting. The main change is scale. Palworld Online is being designed as a shared world where more players can meet, build settlements, complete cooperative activities, and fight each other. It is a separate game made for phones and tablets.
What Palworld Online Includes
Garena says players will travel through an interconnected open world and collect Pals with different skills. Those creatures can help in combat, resource gathering, crafting, and work around a settlement. The basic idea should be familiar to anyone who has played Pocketpair's original survival game, but the online structure is meant to keep communities together in the same world.
Shared settlements are one of the larger changes. Instead of every player managing a private base, groups will be able to build and develop areas together. Garena also promises cooperative player-versus-environment activities and competitive player-versus-player modes. The announcement does not list team sizes, server limits, or the exact rules for those fights.
The mobile game will also have new stories made for its version of the world. Garena says the controls are being designed for touchscreens instead of copying the PC layout directly. No console or PC version of Palworld Online has been announced. The original Palworld remains available separately and continues to have its own updates, saves, servers, and content.
Garena is best known for operating large online games, including Free Fire, in many regions. Pocketpair is licensing Palworld and its Pals, but the announcement names Garena as the developer and publisher. Players should not expect the same team, servers, or update schedule as the PC and console game unless the companies confirm those connections later.
