Palworld Entertainment Established by Aniplex, Pocketpair, and Sony Music Entertainment Japan

Pocketpair, the developers behind Palworld, has unveiled a new collaboration with Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) Inc. and Aniplex Inc. This partnership has led to the creation of Palworld Entertainment Inc., which aims to enhance the intellectual property's global reach. The new entity's efforts will concentrate on expanding licensing and merchandising activities internationally.

Attendees of Bilibili World 2024, scheduled for July 12th in Shanghai, China, will be among the first to experience these efforts. Exclusive Palworld merchandise will be available for purchase, with pre-orders facilitated through Aniplex and various other platforms.

Palworld is accessible on Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. Despite being in early access, it has achieved remarkable success, selling 15 million copies on Steam and attracting 10 million Xbox players within its first month. Developed with a budget of $6.7 billion, CEO Takuro Mizobe revealed that the game has generated profits in the tens of billions of yen.

There have been hints from Pocketpair about a potential PlayStation version of Palworld, but an official confirmation still needs to be made.
