When does Palia release?

If you’re looking to get your hands on trying out the cozy social MMO Palia, you’re in luck. Palia is free-to-play meaning there is no purchase necessary to access the game. So when does Palia release?

In order to play, you either need to get access to the Closed Beta or wait until the Open Beta begins.

When is the Palia Closed Beta?

The Closed Beta for Palia officially started at 1 p.m. EST on August 2. Those that had the chance to play in the Alpha version of the game before its beta release had their accounts wiped ahead of the beta launch.

In order to have a chance to join the Palia Closed Beta you must create an account on the website. Once you have an account, you automatically have a chance to receive Closed Beta access. If selected, you will receive an e-mail with details on how to access the closed beta test and download Palia.

When is the Palia Open Beta?

About a week later, Palia will enter Open Beta. The official date is August 10. Once Palia enters Open Beta, all players will be able to download and join. However, you will still need an account so you should probably go ahead and create one that way you also have the chance of beta access.

The developers, Singularity 6, have not provided a timeframe for how long they think the beta will last. However, with there being no more intended wipes, the beta is essentially a soft launch for Palia. In fact, the Premium Shop is already in the game which is a feature that usually isn’t enabled until a game launches.

Furthermore, the developers have already outlined a slew of new content coming over the next few months including a new themed event, beards, new quests and storylines,  new villagers, furniture and decor, crops, and recipes.

Will there be a Palia wipe?

The developers have indicated they plan on no more wipes now that the Closed Beta for Palia has begun.
