Palworld Official Card Game is selling exceptionally well according to publisher Bushiroad, becoming major revenue driver
The TCG released back in July, and has since become a big hit for Bushiroad.
Japanese publisher Bushiroad released its financial results for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending June 2027 on November 12. The company saw revenue rise by 23.1% year-on-year, which it attributed to the strong performance of the Palworld Official Card Game.
Released on July 30 this year in English, Japanese and Chinese, Palworld Official Card Game translates the popular video game’s survival elements into a two-player tabletop game. This includes using Pals to perform various tasks, creating and defending your bases, and fighting other Pals.
Following the title’s release, Bushiroad’s TCG division reported quarterly revenue of approximately $63.4 million USD, a 45.6% year-on-year increase. The company’s financial report revealed that combined worldwide shipments of the Dawn of Palpagos and Legends Awaken booster packs surpassed 11 million packs as of early November. Additionally, worldwide demo events are said to have attracted a total of 24,123 participants.
Bushiroad cites the English version of the card game as the main driver of overseas sales. The TCG division’s revenue in Japan saw a 14.6% year-on-year increase, while overseas sales rose by 81.5% year-on-year.. In addition to surpassing domestic sales, overseas sales accounted for 55.9% of total TCG revenue, an increase of 11.4% compared to the same period last year.
Following Palworld Official Card Game’s success, Bushiroad plans to establish the card game as a sustainable source of revenue through future product releases and events. Two new trial decks, Eternal Ascent Red・Green and Eternal Ascent Blue・Purple, are set to release on December 18, while the Eternal Ascent booster pack is set to release on January 30, 2027. Bushiroad also plans to continue holding more demo events and organize world championships.
