You’ll have a chance to try Palia, the cozy MMO from a dev team including former World of Warcraft and Riot devs, soon. Developer Singularity 6 announced a Palia closed beta set to start on Aug. 2, 2023, for those who sign up with their registered account, and the open beta will begin on Aug. 10, 2023. If you take part in the closed beta, your account will carry over to the open beta, so you won’t have to start over again.

Palia will eventually launch on multiple platforms, but this beta is only for PC.

Singularity 6 also released a new trailer showcasing Palia’s starting region, a bucolic region of rolling fields, charming villages, and steam-powered windmills with elves and at least one adorable robot wearing a straw hat calling it home.

Palia is built around kindness and cooperation, a safe place for people to explore, work together, and just escape from the worries of life for a little while. Singularity 6 promises a robust story, complete with character relationships and plenty of questing, but you can also just sit back and build a house or create a lovely garden. 

It’s essentially what you get if Animal Crossing and Dreamlight Valley had an online baby, with some elves and adorable robots thrown in for good measure.

“We designed Palia to challenge genre conventions and bring people together in a cozy MMO where they can forge new friendships, and we’re thrilled to finally welcome new players to create the coziest versions of themselves,” Aidan Karabaich, Singularity 6 co-founder and director, said in a press release. “We’ve worked hard to create an experience that feels like a relaxing home away from home, and we view our Beta phase as the next step in a continuous journey to expand and improve the game alongside our players. We hope you’ll join us.”
