Palworld Official Card Game market activity

Overview

Following the July 30 launch of the Palworld Official Card Game, the product has faced significant stock shortages due to demand exceeding expectations. Bushiroad issued an apology to players and announced anti-scalping measures, such as potentially removing shrink wrap from boxes at Japanese pop-up stores to reduce resale value.

By early September, the market saw extreme valuation for specific items, including a PSA 10 graded Gold Soul Cattiva card that sold for over $10,000 on eBay. While some upcoming products like the ‘Legends Awaken’ set remain on schedule, the Sleeve and Card Set Vol. 1 has faced a shipping delay, moving from an original October 2 date to October 16, 2026.

On September 8, Bushiroad announced that the first booster pack, ‘Dawn of Palpagos’, has surpassed 4.4 million pack sales worldwide. To maintain momentum, Bushiroad and Pocketpair plan to showcase the game at the Tokyo Game Show 2026. This exhibition will feature the full collection from the initial booster pack and provide a preview of the second booster pack, ‘Awakened Legend’, which is scheduled for release on October 30.
