The Pocketpair studio was not prepared for the massive explosion of popularity of Palworld. On one hand, it was certainly a pleasant surprise, but on the other hand, it also has its own set of problems: the team is clearly too small to handle all the responsibilities.
According to a post from the studio on X, the Japanese team is desperately looking for workers and encourages interested individuals to apply. Here’s what they said (via Google Translate):
“There are still many things we want to do in Palworld, but we are very short on friends!!! We are recruiting for all positions, but we are especially looking for planning and engineering roles! It doesn’t matter which engine you have the most experience with, so if you are interested in creating a completely new game, apply now!”
Indeed, Palworld was a phenomenon in the early days of 2024, with millions of players entering this world full of creatures that you can use for combat, work, or transportation.
Here is the official description of the game:
“This is a completely innovative open-world crafting and survival game with multiplayer support. In it, you gather fantastic creatures known as ‘Pals’ in a vast world that you can use in battles or for work in construction, farms, or factories.”
