The game was created and published by Pocketpair, which was founded in 2015 by Takuro Mizobe, who is also the creator of Palworld. The game combines elements reminiscent of Pokémon with survival mechanics inspired by games like Ark: Survival Evolved and Rust. Pocketpair developed Palworld with a team that grew to about 40 to 50 members during its development.
