Palworld and Bushiroad confirm a Palworld Official Card Game release this coming summer. Read on to learn more about the new TCG and details here!
Palworld Announces Official TCG
Releasing in July 2026
Palworld is expanding its world beyond survival gameplay with the announcement of the Palworld Official Card Game, which is set to launch on July 30, 2026 as revealed through a teaser trailer on their official YouTube channel. This move brings the franchise’s creature battles and strategies into a trading card-style gameplay.
Palworld’s TCG is designed as a "competitive, two-player experience centered around tactical battles." Players will use Pal cards, resources, and abilities to outmaneuver opponents, drawing inspiration from the creature-focused mechanics seen in the main game. Each Pal features unique traits that likely encourage different deck-building strategies and playstyles.
Bushiroad, a publisher known for producing trading card games, such as Weiß Schwarz and Shadowverse, is also handling development of the project. While full rules and card details have yet to be revealed, the involvement of an established TCG publisher suggests a focus on competitive balance and collectibility.
The teaser trailer showcases familiar Pals, including Lamball, Grizzbolt, and many others. Alongside these creatures, this has sparked curiosity among the community regarding how the matches will turn out. The footage only highlights how Pal abilities play a central role in battles, echoing mechanics from the main game.
Reactions to the YouTube trailer have been largely positive, with fans sharing their excitement in the comments. One viewer wrote, "Looks great, can’t wait to try it out and collect some cards," reflecting the significant anticipation surrounding the card game’s reveal.
Fans Expect Physical Cards
The community on Reddit has speculated that the Palworld Official Card Game will be a physical release rather than a digital one. This expectation stems from Bushiroad’s background in tabletop card games and the official site’s traditional TCG-style presentation.
Some players have also suggested the possibility of future digital integration, with one Reddit user commenting, "Presumably it’s paper TCG but maybe we’ll get a version in game too," as neither format has been formally confirmed at this time.
More details are expected to be shared as the release date approaches. The Palworld Official Card Game marks another step for the franchise beyond its original genre, offering players a new way to experience its world through strategic card-based battles.
