Earlier this year, Pocketpair announced a joint venture with Sony Music Entertainment in Japan to create Palworld Entertainment, Inc. This venture was set in motion with the aim of “accelerating the multifaceted global development of Palworld and its further expansion.”
The announcement naturally led to online speculation that an anime series was in the works, or at least would be soon.
"We apologize to everyone in Japan who was looking forward to it, but all of our staff will do our best to deliver it to PS5 users."
Speaking exclusively to TheGamer at Tokyo Game Show, Pocketpair shared that, while speculation is rampant, it currently has "no plans at the moment" for a Palworld anime.
When discussing future Palworld projects with TheGamer, Pocketpair told me that, “We are very interested in the possibility of an anime adaptation, but there are no plans at the moment."
Despite having no current plans for a series, Pocketpair believes "The world and characters of Palworld would certainly lend themselves well to animation." Because of this, the company says it is more than "open to exploring that possibility in the future.”
