'Palia' Reaches 10 Million Players, Celebrates With In-game Event, Royal Highlands Expansion In May - Screens & Trailer

Palia is a community simulation massively multiplayer online game where players can build a home and life, meet and befriend a compelling cast of characters, and experience an evolving narrative with other players.

Palia is set in a high fantasy world with robust online multiplayer features and a 3rd person perspective that adds a new layer of depth to the sim genre, giving players a deep community experience in a vibrant living world. As players explore this new world full of wonder, they decide how they fit in, what they want to do and how they want to play.

In Palia, humans are the legendary race, having disappeared thousands of years ago at the height of their grandeur and mastery of magic. Nobody in modern times knows why. Players awaken as human characters without explanation in a quaint, lakeside village where they’ll make their home and forge a new future for themselves and humanity. Together with a massive online community, players will uncover the secrets to humanity's past through an evolving narrative that will take years to fully unveil. Palia is a gorgeous, cozy world that’s constantly evolving and features deep customization systems, a compelling cast of non-playable characters, and a massive online community of other players to share and explore it with.

Palia is a gorgeous, cozy world that’s constantly evolving and features deep customization systems, a compelling cast of non-playable characters, and a robust Neighborhood system that allows players to forge communities of their own. Combining the welcoming atmosphere of a community sim with a massively multiplayer online experience, the game gives players the chance to be part of a global community of gamers as they collaborate, explore and progress. Palia’s innovative social matchmaking system ensures that friends and neighbors can always be close by.

Palia also offers a robust set of character creation options that allow players to show off their unique style and creativity. This includes a diverse set of face and skin tone options, hairstyles that can go on any character, and a flexible fashion system. Players can mix and match different components, customize colors and patterns, and save their favorite outfits. So whether they want to be an award winning cook, or the best gardener in the world, it’s all up to them. New features will be continually added to expand player’s options.


Palia is growing, and in more ways than you might expect! As Palia has expanded across platforms and regions, it has amassed over 10 million players who have contributed to its thriving community.

To celebrate this incredible milestone, Singularity 6 is throwing a special 10 Million Players Celebration Event in-game, bringing Palians together for limited-time activities and rewards that honor Palia’s journey before its next chapter begins in the Royal Highlands. Palia’s upcoming Royal Highlands Expansion will launch on May 12, inviting players to dive deeper into the lore of Ancient Humans in Palia’s ever-evolving story.

“When we first opened Palia to members of the community, we dreamed of building a high-fantasy world that felt like a home away from home,” said Anthony Leung, CEO & Co-Founder of Singularity 6. “Our community has helped us realize that vision. Continually inspiring and guiding us to help Palia become more welcoming, charming, and friendly than we could have ever imagined, and we are so incredibly grateful to all 10 million of you who have been along for the journey. However long you’ve been a Palian, this celebration is for you.” 

As players await the Royal Highlands Expansion, they can partake in Palia’s 10 Million Player Celebration Event. Starting today and ending on May 11, the in-game event offers the opportunity to earn up to two completely free Mystery Premium Outfits, event exclusive Plushes, and enjoy a limited-time 25% off discount on Palia’s Starter and Founder’s Packs. This marks the first time in Palia’s history that players can earn premium cosmetics for free! Just log in during the event and complete daily quests to start earning rewards. 

And as the 10 Million Player Celebration ends, adventures across the Royal Highlands begin! As Palia’s largest Adventure Zone to date, the Royal Highlands invites players into a sprawling, sun-kissed landscape of golden fields, hidden treasures and Ancient Human mysteries to unravel. Not only does the expansion continue the storylines of characters players know and love, but it will also introduce a brand new character, Eshelon, who will play a key role in what’s unfolding in the Royal Highlands.

The update will also introduce Horses to Palia, allowing players to explore and traverse the Royal Highlands with your noble steed! With new quests, characters and ways to explore woven throughout, the Royal Highlands marks a bold new chapter in Palia’s ever-evolving world.

  • Engaging Skills, Gathering, and Crafting – Players will need materials to build the in-game life and home of their dreams, as well as create giftable items for their favorite Villagers. Players can gather and craft these items by using, refining, and leveling-up awesome skills and fun minigames, such as fishing, foraging, hunting, insect catching, cooking, gardening, and more. Players will progress their character and earn new recipes for crafting increasingly useful items using the player’s intuitive worktable.
  • Welcome Home – The sheer amount of housing customization options available, to both the house’s interior and exterior, practically ensures that no two housing designs will be the same. If they want, players can expect to progress their pad from a tent to the size of a mansion estate. Players will truly have the opportunity to make their in-game house a home.

Palia is available for Nintendo Switch (eShop), PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam / Epic Games Store).
