Palia is an MMO that focuses on cozy and social aspects. The first alpha started in early 2022. Now the developers are releasing new information about gameplay, story and optional fights.
On June 17, 2022, the developers of Singularity 6 hosted a question and answer session on Discord. They summarized the answers on their website. Most players asked questions about gameplay, combat, and future testing.
Battles in the laid back life sim?
Even before the start of the alpha, the developers stated that there would be the opportunity to fight opponents in PvE. Over time, there will be combat-like adventures that players can optionally dodge to play Palia completely non-violently. The developers want to do without PvP completely.
As a reason, they give their personal goal, which cannot be reconciled with a stressful PvP or similar combat mode. Palia aims to be an MMO that players can relax and enjoy without feeling pressured to outperform their opponents.
Palia will still include a few small competitions. The developers compare this to card games in the afternoon or a race on the beach. No stress.
The story of Palia
Palia will not be a strong story game. Nevertheless, there is a story that the developers want to tell together with their community.
You play people who are a “legendary people” in the world of Palia. Because at the peak of their creative power, they suddenly disappeared and no one knew why. Now, after thousands of years, humans have suddenly reappeared and you must make a new home in the unknown world.
The story develops as you build friendships with NPCs. Each of them tells a unique story, which gradually brings you closer to the answer to the disappearance of humans.
What kind of game is Palia anyway?
Palia wants to be a social MMO and is aimed at players who like Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley and Co. The most important features are:
Is there a beta soon? The game is still in the middle of development. When there will be the next alpha, or even a beta, is still unclear. There is also no release date.
