Players who have been waiting to enter the Palworld Official Card Game may have a better opportunity soon. Bushiroad has provided more information about the 2nd Edition reprint of Dawn of Palpagos, the game’s launch set, following widespread stock shortages and inflated resale prices. The reprint is scheduled for late October and should be the version to watch for fans who do not want to pay secondary-market prices.
What changed in the Dawn of Palpagos reprint?
The 2nd Edition cards will be almost identical to those from the original printing. The clearest difference is a Roman numeral “II” beside the copyright information in the lower-right corner of each card. Bushiroad has not indicated any other major card changes. The misspelling of “Palworld” found in the fine print on 1st Edition boxes will likely be corrected, although that detail is not presented as a confirmed card redesign. The reprint is expected to arrive in late October.
Who should wait before buying Palworld cards?
The new printing is especially relevant to players who were unable to find Dawn of Palpagos at local game stores. The first wave launched in late July with more than 100 cards, alongside two trial decks designed to teach the game. Demand quickly outpaced available supply, and stores carrying the product reportedly sold through their stock soon after release. Resellers listed booster boxes for as much as $175, nearly three times the stated MSRP, while some individual cards reached prices in the thousands of dollars. The game is currently sold through local game stores rather than major retailers such as Walmart or Target, limiting the usual shopping options.
What comes next for the Palworld Official Card Game?
The reprint is not the only upcoming product affected by the game’s early supply challenges. Bushiroad delayed the Sleeve and Card Set Vol. 1 by two weeks, moving its release to October 16. That product includes the first official Palworld sleeves, featuring a Pal Sphere design, plus an exclusive promotional card based on one of several Pals, including Cattiva, Depresso, and Chillet. Bushiroad has also announced Legends Awaken, the first expansion after launch. It will add cards for Pals such as Chillet Ignis and Jetragon, along with Saya Kurosaki and her Pal Selyne.

- A Roman numeral “II” beside the copyright is the main confirmed visual distinction.
- The original launch included more than 100 cards and two trial decks.

Expert View
Waiting for the 2nd Edition is the sensible option for most new players, provided they are comfortable receiving cards marked as a later printing. The cards should remain nearly the same while avoiding the steepest launch-era resale prices, but availability is not guaranteed until stores actually receive stock. The reprint, delayed accessory product, and announced expansion give the game a clearer path forward, though Bushiroad still needs to keep supply consistent if it wants the Palworld card game to build a stable player base.
