The Palworld Official Card Game is looking ahead to 2027 with the announcement of Eternal Ascent, its third set. Bushiroad has confirmed that the expansion will launch on January 29, 2027, although the first teaser leaves most of its card list and gameplay details undisclosed.
What happened with Eternal Ascent?
Bushiroad revealed the name and release date of the card game's third set through its social media channels. Eternal Ascent is scheduled to arrive on January 29, 2027, and additional information is expected to be shared over the coming weeks. The company has also encouraged players to pre-order booster boxes through local game stores.
The announcement did not identify specific cards or Pals from the set. Based on the source's description, the expansion is expected to add creatures from across Palworld's progression, including useful early-game Pals and powerful late-game options. The game's four colors should receive new cards, while Colorless cards are expected to offer additions that can fit into any deck.
Why the third set matters for the new TCG
Eternal Ascent will be the first Palworld card game set planned for 2027, giving Bushiroad and Pocketpair another opportunity to build on the TCG's early momentum. The game launched on July 30 with Dawn of Palpagos, a set featuring popular Pals including Daedream, Chillet, and Jormuntide.
That launch also exposed a supply problem. Initial stock sold out quickly, and scalpers resold boxes on marketplaces such as eBay at prices far above the recommended retail price. Bushiroad responded by working to provide more copies of the first printing and confirming a second-edition wave for Dawn of Palpagos.
The demand demonstrates that Palworld has a strong audience for physical merchandise, but future releases will need dependable distribution if the card game is to remain accessible to regular players rather than primarily serving collectors and resellers.
What to watch next
Fans will not have to wait for Eternal Ascent to see the next major addition to the game. Legends Awaken, the second set, is scheduled for October 30 and will contain 100 new cards. Bushiroad has already teased Chillet Ignis and Jetragon, along with new versions of existing Pals such as Broncherry and Daedream. A second Trial Deck release is also planned alongside that expansion.
The immediate priorities are the remaining Legends Awaken reveals, more information about Eternal Ascent, and the availability of booster boxes when pre-orders open. Bushiroad is also preparing the game's first official accessories, though Sleeve & Card Set Vol. 1 has been delayed. Those product updates should help show whether the launch shortages were an isolated issue or a recurring challenge for the growing TCG.

Expert View
Eternal Ascent is an important test of whether the Palworld Official Card Game can turn launch excitement into a stable, player-friendly ecosystem. Strong demand gives the TCG a valuable foundation, but reliable stock will matter just as much as attractive new cards. If Bushiroad can support the next two sets with better availability and a steady reveal schedule, Pocketpair's card game has a realistic chance to maintain attention beyond its initial novelty.
