Palworld developer Pocketpair has revealed that it's opened a publishing wing, and that its first game will be a horror project by Tales of Kenzera: Zau developer Surgent Studios.
The partnership was announced earlier today in a post on social media platform X, wherein Pocketpair describes Surgent as "a studio with an original approach" and pledges to support the studio "to the fullest extent".
While this is Pocketpair's first publishing signing, it won't be the studio's last; the Palworld dev tells fans to "look forward to future announcements for details of specific projects", so we're going to be seeing more Pocketpair-published games in future.
Over on the new Pocketpair Publishing website, the studio says its mission is "simple": to "find fun games" and then "help make those fun games a reality".
Pocketpair pledges not to tell indie developers "what to do", not to "take control" from them during the making of their games, and not to "change [their] dream or push [them] to make a certain type of game".
Instead, the studio simply wants to "give [developers] money" and "help [them] make a fun game". That sounds nice and simple to me, although it's notable that Pocketpair doesn't disclose...
