The company saw revenue rise by 23.1% year-on-year, which it attributed to the strong performance of the <strong>Palworld Official Card Game.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Released on July 30 this year in English, Japanese and Chinese, Palworld Official Card Game translates the popular video game\u2019s 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the title\u2019s release, Bushiroad\u2019s TCG division reported quarterly revenue of approximately $63.4 million USD, a 45.6% year-on-year increase. The company\u2019s 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bushiroad cites the English version of the card game as the main driver of overseas sales. The TCG division&#8217;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.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"955\" height=\"537\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 955px) 100vw, 955px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/20261113-75220-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-75223\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/20261113-75220-001.jpg 955w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/20261113-75220-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/20261113-75220-001-766x431.jpg 766w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following Palworld Official Card Game\u2019s success, Bushiroad plans to establish the card game as a sustainable source of revenue through future product releases and events.
