The Palworld Official Card Game’s first official accessories will arrive later than planned. Bushiroad has moved the release of Sleeve and Card Set Vol. 1 from October 2 to October 16, extending the wait for players who want themed supplies and exclusive promo cards before the game’s next major expansion.
What Happened to the Palworld Card Game Release?
Sleeve and Card Set Vol. 1 is now scheduled for October 16, two weeks after its original launch date. Bushiroad has apologized for the change and said it is continuing work behind the scenes to make the product available as soon as possible.
The set contains 75 card sleeves with a Pal Sphere design on their backs. It also includes exclusive promo cards featuring Cattiva, Depresso, Chillet, Quivern, and Grizzbolt. That makes the delayed product more than a simple accessory bundle: collectors will also be watching it for cards that are not part of the standard Dawn of Palpagos release.
Why the Delay Matters for Players and Collectors
The delay arrives while the Palworld Official Card Game is already dealing with limited availability. The game launched in late July through Pocketpair and Bushiroad, with Dawn of Palpagos releasing on July 30 as its first full set. Its launch was supported by two Trial Decks, each offering a complete 50-card deck and a booster pack from Dawn of Palpagos.
Since release, fans have reported trouble finding the game in local stores, while resellers have bought up available stock. Booster boxes have appeared on secondary-market sites for as much as $175, and early copies of the all-gold SSS Cattiva card have reportedly sold for thousands of dollars. Those conditions make any release-date change especially relevant: players are not only waiting for new content, but also trying to find products at reasonable availability and pricing.
Bushiroad has said additional Dawn of Palpagos stock was being sent to stores and has announced plans for a second-edition print run. That response could help reduce pressure on the launch set, although the source does not provide a timetable for when supply will fully stabilize.
What to Watch Next for Palworld’s Card Game
The delayed accessory set is expected to arrive ahead of Legends Awaken, the game’s second full expansion. Bushiroad has revealed that set as the next major release and has highlighted new Pals including Chillet Ignis and Jetragon.
Reprints of Dawn of Palpagos are also expected to accompany the upcoming expansion. Beyond that, a third full set is planned for early 2027, although no official details about its cards or theme have been announced. For now, the immediate milestones are the October 16 accessory release, improved availability for Dawn of Palpagos, and more information about Legends Awaken.

Expert View
The accessory delay is modest in isolation, but it highlights a larger challenge for the Palworld Official Card Game: demand is arriving faster than reliable supply. Bushiroad’s planned reprint and additional shipments are the most important developments for ordinary players, because a healthy card-game scene needs accessible decks and boosters, not just expensive chase cards. If availability improves before Legends Awaken launches, the game can convert its strong opening interest into a more sustainable player base.
