PvP in Palworld will be difficult to add, dev says

Though they are working on it, PvP in Palworld will be difficult to add to the game, Pocketpair CEO Takuro Mizobe explained in a recent interview.

Palworld will eventually have PvP, but it will be difficult to add, says dev: "Trying to make PvP and PvE work with each other means developing a game with significant limitations in terms of game design"​

Pocketpair, the Japanese development team behind Palworld has already confirmed they’ll be bringing PvP to the game in a future update (in addition to raid boss battles and crossplay) but the addition of PvP in Palworld won’t be as easy to integrate into the game as some might think because of how the smallest changes in a game that is both PvE and PvP alters the balance.

I'm just getting started in this game, but PvP would be low priority for me. I'd rather see them build on the Breath of the Wild elements with some meaty dungeons to explore with coop+pal.

I get what he's saying, seems like they made the core game and thought: Yeah sure, we can make launch fun pvp real easy after the initial patch fixes.

PvP is a real tricky beast to get in terms of game design, especially for a survival game and can be actively a detriment to your game at times.

Their community manager touched a bit on that before the launch, this is what he said on their discord :

Interesting. When I play it it'll gave all these things included, hopefully.

First they have to fix the bugs of people riding on their mounts backwards when others are playing with them from their viewpoints. I'd like to play it but until I hear about Playstation getting it I'm not even bothering with dusting off my Series X.

Yeah better off to wait it's early access/beta phase now.
