Singularity 6’s cozy game Palia enters PC beta in August

Singularity 6 announced today that Palia, its cozy life sim/fantasy MMO, has both its closed and open betas in early August. More specifically, it’ll hold a closed beta on PC on August 2, and then its open beta releases on August 10. According to the developer, users who participate in either beta will retain their progress. The game doesn’t currently have a final release date, but its page on the Nintendo store projects a Holiday 2023 release window.

Palia will be free-to-play, with community-focused gameplay. It offers a similar experience to other cozy life sim titles, with player activities including crafting, farming, fishing and hunting. Being an MMO, it takes place in a shared world with other players joining in on each other’s activities. It also has a story about the reappearance of the apparently extinct human race.
