Pocketpair, the developer behind Palworld, has said that the studio plans to remain a small independent game developer.

Palworld, developed by Pocketpair, is one of the best-selling games of 2024. Now, the indie developer is making claims it will remain a small independent studio, regardless of how well its games sell. When Palworld was released, it broke sales records and set new ones, and the runaway success of Palworld was almost too much for Pocketpair to handle. According to Pocketpair CEO, Takuro Mizobe, the company had roughly 10 employees when work started on Palworld.

Mizobe said: “Games are most fun when playing with friends”, and went on to say “A game without a multiplayer mode just doesn’t feel right in the era we live in today”. It’s thanks to Pocketpair’s status as an indie studio that it was able to take more risks when making Palworld. Keeping studios independent of larger companies allows room for indies to be the ‘pioneers of game design’, as Mizobe went on to say. Whatever Pocketpair is doing, obviously works.
