Palworld seems to have achieved considerable notoriety in Chinawhere a large portion of the community linked to the game is currently located, according to what was reported by the community manager of the PocketPair team, John “Bucky” Buckley, who stated that the game has “absolutely conquered” the territory.
Although it is still in early access, and therefore not yet completely complete, Palworld has already exceeded 25 million players, but the data in question is updated to last March, so the quantity is certainly now even greater, despite the fact that it is already an impressive achievement.
In a recent interview published by GameRant, community manager Bucky explained that the team was impressed by the public response in China: “It shocked us at first, but the majority of our users are now in that area, the game has absolutely conquered China,” he explained.
A third of the audience is Chinese
“We really didn’t expect it, but we are very happy with what we achieved,” added the PocketPair community manager, who explained that approximately a third of the population Palworld’s overall product comes from the Chinese market.
“Our fans in China are incredible, we have been to two dedicated events there and the support and love from users is absolutely fantastic.”
It is difficult to establish on what foundations the success is based specifically for the Chinese market, but according to Bucky it could derive from the fusion of the elements used in the gameplay, i.e. the possibility of building, collecting and also playing multiplayer.
“Palworld is a game where, if you want, you can dedicate a lot of time and I think these types of games are very popular in China,” he said, “The Chinese market seems to appreciate games with very long life cycles. Maybe that was it, but we don’t really know.”
In the meantime, the legal case brought by Nintendo against Palworld looms, so the fate remains uncertain, although the game continues to expand, having recently arrived on PS5 and with a mobile version announced, by Krafton.
