Palworld Official Card Game: Release Set for July 30
• Pocketpair and Bushiroad will release Palworld Official Card Game on July 30, 2026. • The two-player trading card game adapts Palworld’s Pals, resource gathering and base-building mechanics. • Early details confirm unique Pal traits and strategic battles; pricing and full card lists are not yet announced. • Teaser trailer is available; more updates promised on the official site and Pocketpair’s Discord.
What’s been announced
Pocketpair has revealed an official trading card game based on its hit monster‑catching survival title Palworld. The Palworld Official Card Game is scheduled to launch on July 30, 2026, and was developed in partnership with Bushiroad.
Core concept and gameplay
The TCG adapts several of Palworld’s signature systems: players will deploy Pals to fight in tactical, strategic encounters while also managing resources and building bases. Each Pal will reportedly carry "unique traits" that influence combat and strategy.
Designers are positioning the product as a competitive two‑player card game focused on tactical decision‑making rather than a collectible living card game. That suggests a tighter ruleset aimed at head‑to‑head play.
Release details and partners
The game is being co‑produced with Bushiroad, a company known for producing physical and digital card games. Pocketpair has not yet released pricing, product formats, or full card lists; it has directed fans to the official site and its Discord channel for further updates.

What we don’t know yet
Key details remain unannounced: retail price, box contents, card rarities, and whether the game will include an organized play program or digital companion app. Pocketpair has encouraged fans to "stay tuned" for more information on Discord and the official site.
Why this matters
Palworld became a breakout hit on Steam, pulling in massive concurrent player numbers on release. Translating that audience into a physical or tabletop product is a familiar route for successful IPs, and the Bushiroad partnership gives the card game a strong production and distribution partner.
The move also comes as Pocketpair continues to navigate broader attention and legal scrutiny stemming from a past patent dispute with Nintendo; recent developments have leaned in Pocketpair’s favor. For now, the card game represents a new way for fans to engage with Palworld’s creatures and mechanics outside the video game experience.
