I’m all about cozy games, and Palia is about to be a whole new cozy experience. It appears to be a blend of Animal Crossing, one of my personal favorite cozy games, andDisney Dreamlight Valley. What makes Palia stand out is its MMO features focusing on multiplayer, allowing you to enjoy it with friends and even make some new ones.

How to play the Palia Beta Test
Is Palia an MMORPG?
Palia is an online multiplayer experience, but it does not feature combat andshould not be considered a typical MMORPG. Instead, it focuses on relaxing gameplay and an enchanting world. Despite having some MMO features,the number of players on each server will be limited from 1 to 25. This means you can play Palia completely solo if you prefer to be a reclusive hermit instead of a social butterfly.
Is Palia free to play?
Palia will be free to play, allowing everyone to play the game without putting down any cash. It does feature apremium in-game shop, but there will beno pay-to-win. Players can purchase various furnishings and outfits to customize their avatars. I expect cosmetic items and furniture to also be purchasable and earned in-game in a similar way to Disney Dreamlight Valley, but we’ll have to wait and see how it all works.
Does Palia have a story?
Those looking to relax and enjoy a charming narrative are in luck, as Palia does have a story. Singularity 6 has confirmed that Palia will have an evolving world and narrative with frequent updates to the world and storyline. Players are also free to create their own story as well, as there are several NPCs to interact with as you complete mainline and side quests.
