The Palworld Official Card Game launched July 30, and its first booster pack, Dawn of Palpagos, has passed 4.4 million packs in worldwide cumulative shipments. The second set, Awakened Legend, is due October 30, and note added the game to its trading card product pages in October.
Bushiroad introduced the Palworld Official Card Game to players before launch. At Card Game Fest 2026 in Tokyo on May 3 and 4, President Takaaki Kidani explained the rules himself. The game is two-player, with a 50-card deck and a separate 10-card Soul deck. Souls pay for cards, and each turn adds two Souls. The preview used a shortened three-life format instead of the standard ten. Matches ran long enough to show the second player's one-Soul advantage, and a Quick mechanic lets a player interrupt an attack from hand. The preview ended without a winner. Booster packs were priced at 440 yen and trial decks at 1,980 yen, with two trial deck types.
After the July 30 launch, Bushiroad reported on September 8 that the first booster pack, Dawn of Palpagos, had passed 4.4 million packs in worldwide cumulative shipments. The set has over 50 Pal cards in new illustrations, including Zoe and Lily. That same report tied the product line to Tokyo Game Show 2026, where the Pocketpair booth planned to 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. A Quick mechanic allows players to interrupt attacks by playing a card from hand. The preview ended before a winner was decided. The game will launch with booster packs at 440 yen each and two types of trial decks at 1,980 yen each.
