Palworld Developer Pocketpair Moves Into Publishing to Release Tales of Kenzera Dev's Next Game

Author : Charlotte Update:Mar 16,2025

Palworld developer Pocketpair is branching out, establishing Pocketpair Publishing to support independent game development. Their first publishing venture is a new horror game from Surgent Studios, the creators of Tales of Kenzera: Zau. This new title will be a standalone project, distinct from the Tales of Kenzera universe, though Surgent Studios remains open to future projects within that setting. Surgent Studios CEO Abubakar Salim described the upcoming horror game as "short and weird," reflecting a shared risk-taking approach between the two companies.

Pocketpair Publishing is actively seeking new development partnerships, emphasizing a hands-off approach that prioritizes developer autonomy and creative vision. John Buckley, Head of Pocketpair Publishing, highlighted the company's commitment to supporting creators and easing the challenges of game development. He expressed enthusiasm for partnering with Surgent Studios, praising their originality and passion.

Abubakar Salim, also known for his acting roles in Assassin's Creed Origins and House of the Dragon, expressed his excitement about this collaboration, viewing it as a positive step for the gaming industry in 2025.

Tales of Kenzera: Zau, a Metroidvania game exploring themes of grief and love, received a positive reception, though its commercial success was hampered by subsequent challenges for Surgent Studios, including layoffs. The partnership with Pocketpair Publishing offers crucial support during this period. This announcement comes as Pocketpair continues to navigate a patent infringement lawsuit filed by The Pokémon Company and Nintendo. No release date or title has been announced for Surgent Studios' upcoming horror game.
