The Palworld Official Card Game shipped its first booster pack, Dawn of Palpagos, on July 30 and that set has passed 4.4 million packs in worldwide cumulative shipments. A second set, Awakened Legend, is dated October 30, with first-set cards and second-set illustrations set for the Pocketpair booth at Tokyo Game Show 2026.
Bushiroad's Palworld Official Card Game arrived on July 30 with booster packs at 440 yen each and two trial decks at 1,980 yen each. The first booster, Dawn of Palpagos, carries more than 50 Pal cards with new illustrations, among them Zoe and Lily. The set has now passed 4.4 million packs in worldwide cumulative shipments.
The design was shown to players ahead of launch. At Card Game Fest 2026 in Tokyo on May 3 and 4, Bushiroad President Takaaki Kidani explained the rules himself. The game is two-player, runs a 50-card deck plus a separate 10-card Soul deck, and uses Souls as the cost to play cards. Each player gains two Souls a turn, and the second player starts with one extra, which lets that player field a cost-2 Pal on turn one and still counterattack. By turn two each player holds four or five Souls, enough for cost-4 Pals and Building cards such as the Primitive Furnace, which cuts Gear costs. A Quick mechanic lets a player interrupt an attack with a card from hand. The preview used a shortened three-life format rather than the standard ten and ended without a winner.
Coverage has moved from rules to product scale. The next step on the schedule is Tokyo Game Show 2026, where the Pocketpair booth will display all first-set cards and preview illustrations from the second set, Awakened Legend, due October 30.

Bushiroad held a preview event for the Palworld Official Card Game (Palworld OCG) at Card Game Fest 2026 in Tokyo on May 3 and 4, ahead of its July 30 release. Bushiroad President Takaaki Kidani personally explained the rules to attendees. The two-player card game uses a 50-card deck plus a separate 10-card Soul deck. Souls serve as the cost to play cards, and players gain two additional Souls each turn. The preview used a shortened three-life format instead of the standard ten. During play, the first player summoned a cost-2 Pal on turn one, while the second player, starting with one extra Soul, could field a cost-2 Pal and counterattack. By turn two, each player had four or five Souls, enabling cost-4 Pals and Building cards like the Primitive Furnace, which reduces Gear costs.
