, and a dating sim spin-off is currently in the works. According to developer Pocketpair, more is coming, including some surprises you may want to watch out for.

"We're thinking carefully about what we might do next," John 'Bucky' Buckley, the head of publishing and communications at Pocketpair,

. "We've got some spin-offs we're experimenting with, and hopefully we'll be able to figure out how to keep expanding the Palworld universe."

One of these is More Than Just Pals, the romantic social adventure wherein you play a new transfer student at Private Palpagos Academy, which looks obscenely fun. I mean, there's apparently the option to eat your fellow students, and what could be more appealing?

There are no hints about what these other side games could be, but a Pokémon Stadium-esque release seems like an easy win. Of course, Pocketpair will never beat the comparisons if this does happen, but at the same time, why not?

Buckley is clear that Palworld as a property is going to get ******* and *******. Pocketpair has "a few other little secret things in development," he adds. "The IP is gonna keep growing."

When you consider the game managed to draw in over 885,000 concurrent players on the back of the update 1.0, there's room for a lot of confidence in the existing release and where the property could go. Pocketpair's sense of humor and creativity are such that I believe the devs would approach things with the right attitude and expectations, too.

Where this all leads is an open prospect, as Buckley acts coy about committing to what Palworld may look like in five years. If the first two are anything to go by, whatever it is will be big.
