Palworld OFFICIAL CARD GAME readies for its official release on July 30, along with news of two additional overseas subsidiaries. Read more about the launch, Bushiroad's expansion, and other details here.
Palworld OFFICIAL CARD GAME Releases Worldwide
Launching on July 30, 2026
Palworld Official Card Game will launch its first set, Dawn of Palpagos, on July 30, 2026, in Japanese, English, and Simplified Chinese simultaneously. It is expected to release over 3.5 million booster packs, and Trial Decks will be available on launch day as well. Every card in the set will use brand-new artwork made specifically for the TCG.
In building some hype, Bushiroad, the team behind the card game, has been hosting and will continue to hold hands-on preview events and even beginner-friendly workshops. Their plans include visiting close to 400 card shops in over 18 countries after successfully concluding a recent stop at Anime Expo 2026 in Los Angeles early this July. More events are planned for August in Singapore and Korea, with the company expecting an estimate of 15,000 people to take part across all these pre-launch activities combined. Bushiroad’s strategy is to help the card game brand in the long run by promoting and interacting with the community.
With the card game's global launch and newly added international offices, Bushiroad expects sales from outside Japan to make up more than half of its total card game revenue for the first time ever, with that milestone targeted for the fiscal year by June 2027. The company says this marks a shift toward building its business for a worldwide audience and plans to keep expanding both its card game division and other projects moving forward.
Bushiroad Opens Two New Overseas Offices
Bushiroad Inc., a well-known publisher for titles like BanG Dream! Girls Band Party, Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation - Quest of Memories, grows its international presence with two new subsidiaries, one branch in Malaysia and another in China, as part of a long-term plan to build up its business in fast-growing overseas markets. With these additions, Bushiroad now operates seven companies outside Japan in total, joining its existing offices in South Korea, the U.S., and Singapore, plus a manufacturing partner in Malaysia.
The Malaysian office, Bushiroad Malaysia Sdn. Bhd., is set up in Kuala Lumpur and will be run by Sungjoon Park, the current President and CEO of Bushiroad Asia Inc. The company was founded back in March 2026 and is expected to be fully up and running sometime later this year, using the experience gained from the South Korean market to help grow sales in Malaysia.
Over in China, Bushiroad is changing how it handles its Simplified Chinese card game business. Instead of exporting products, the company will manufacture and distribute them locally with Shanghai as the baseline for operations. The move is meant to cut down on shipping costs and get products out faster and more efficiently. This new branch will be led by Takami Ohbari, a Bushiroad executive who oversees sales planning, and is expected to proceed with its launch sometime this summer.
What is the Palworld OFFICIAL CARD GAME?
Palworld OFFICIAL CARD GAME is Bushiroad's upcoming trading card adaptation of Palworld, the open-world survival and creature-collecting game originally developed by Pocketpair. The card game brings Palworld's cast of Pals and art style to the tabletop, with the launch set, Dawn of Palpagos, featuring entirely original artwork.
With a simultaneous worldwide release across three languages and a multi-million-pack shipment, Bushiroad is gearing the Palworld Official Card Game as a flagship product in its broader overseas expansion. Between the scale of the launch and the company's goal of building it into a sustainable brand, it's likely going to be one of the more closely watched new releases in the TCG space this year.
