Krafton Draws 2.5-Hour Wait for Palworld Mobile Demo at G-Star 2025

[Financial News] Krafton announced on the 14th that it received an enthusiastic response from visitors at the international game exhibition G-Star 2025, held at the Busan Exhibition and Convention Center (BEXCO) in Haeundae-gu, Busan, with a variety of interactive content including the new title Palworld Mobile.
This year, Krafton designed its booth around Palworld Mobile, a new game currently in development based on the Palworld intellectual property (IP) from Japanese game developer Pocketpair.
According to Krafton, a long line formed in front of the demo zone, with wait times reaching up to 2 hours and 30 minutes due to high interest. Visitors who experienced the game shared feedback such as, “The fun of the original was fully captured on mobile,” and “Exploring the open world, battling, and crafting with adorable Pals was a delight.”
The booth was arranged as a theme park-style space inspired by the world of Palworld, allowing attendees to vividly experience in-game content in real life.
The interactive rest area, PUBG Cafe, utilizing the PUBG: Battlegrounds IP, also became a must-visit spot for attendees. Limited-edition menu items created in collaboration with the handmade donut brand Old Ferry Donut, as well as mini-games and hands-on events themed after the Battlegrounds universe, proved highly popular.
On the booth stage, participatory programs such as the Palworld Mobile Quiz Show, Pal Parade, and photo sessions were held. The parade, set to the Palworld Mobile song, received an especially enthusiastic response, and long lines formed for the photo sessions.
In addition, Krafton plans to keep the excitement going on-site with stage programs featuring key PUBG: Battlegrounds developers and popular creators.
