Pocketpair, developer of Palworld, has filed trademarks for Palworld Online, sparking speculation about a new entry in the franchise. The trademark covers digital goods, online services, and AI integration, with filings under IC9 (physical/digital products), IC41 (online gaming), and IC42 (software development). While details remain sparse, the inclusion of "artificial intelligence as a service" (AIAAS) suggests advanced tech, possibly for dynamic gameplay or procedural content generation.

Fans debate whether the project will lean into gacha mechanics, a popular monetization model, or evolve into a traditional MMO structure. Either path aligns with Pocketpair’s history of diversifying Palworld’s IP across genres.
