In an unexpected turn of events, the team behind Palworld and Craftopia, known as Pocketpair, has unveiled a new venture. They’ve launched their own publishing company, Pocketpair Publishing, which aims to offer extensive aid in game development by financing and publishing indie developers and studios. The twist? Their inaugural project is a chilling horror game!

The first game will be a horror title from Surgent Studios
As a tech enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share an exciting piece of news: Instead of the usual adorable critters we’re accustomed to, the debut game from Pocketpair Publishing will be a chilling horror project by Surgent Studios, known for their side-scrolling Metroidvania, Tales of Kenzera. In a heartfelt tweet, Abubakar Salim, the founder of Surgent Studios, announced this unique collaboration.
He expressed his excitement about this partnership as a sign of the future of gaming: “I’m ecstatic about the direction I want games to take in 2025—developers collaborating, innovating together, and propelling the industry forward. Kudos to the Pocketpair team! It’s an unparalleled privilege to be the first collaboration announced with @PocketpairPBLSH We’ve been brewing something intriguing, and I can’t wait to reveal it to you all. Stay tuned!”
Although the specifics of this project are under wraps for now, the announcement has already sparked curiosity, and the choice of a horror game for Pocketpair Publishing’s inaugural title is undeniably unconventional. It does, however, indicate that they’re open to venturing into various genres, an openness that will likely draw a multitude of indie developers eager to join their ranks. In case you’re a developer yourself, you can submit your application directly to Pocketpair Publishing via this Google form.
Sharing the love with indie developers
Today, Pocketpair unveiled an exciting new project and a compelling mission statement. This venture seems to be built on the back of Palworld’s impressive success – a game that amassed over 2 million players at its peak and continues to attract over 200,000 concurrent players with the latest Feybreak update.
Inspired by the triumph of Palworld, Pocketpair aims to involve more independent developers in this thriving environment. This decision is admirable, even as they navigate through the turbulence of their ongoing legal dispute with Nintendo regarding allegations of patent infringement.
