A teaser trailer highlights several familiar faces slated for the debut set, including Lamball, Pengullet, Flopie, Grizzbolt, and the loot-obsessed Mimog. These Pals have become the face of the franchise since it took the gaming world by storm in early 2024, and they will likely serve as the foundation for initial deck strategies.
With a library of nearly 200 Pals to draw from, there is immense potential for future expansions and complex archetypes. While some critics might find the jump to a TCG premature, it mirrors the aggressive expansion seen in legendary franchises; the Pokémon TCG, for instance, launched in Japan the very same year as the original Game Boy titles. If the community’s enthusiasm remains steady, this could be the start of a long-running tabletop series.
The Palworld Official Card Game is scheduled for release on July 30, 2026. Fans can expect a steady stream of card reveals and gameplay deep-dives as the launch date approaches.
“Not a ‘dead game’ after all”: The Palworld development team recently addressed online detractors as Pocketpair celebrated its dominant position in the Steam “Best of 2025” rankings, expressing deep gratitude for the community’s “unwavering support.”
