Palia Royal Highlands Preview – Saddle Up in This Expansion!

A positively regal update, Singularity 6’s Palia is launching its major Royal Highlands Expansion – and respective Adventure Zone! – on May 12.

From its noble steeds to its golden fields, we recently joined Palia’s development team to learn more…

Palia Royal Highlands Preview – Saddle Up in This Expansion!

Players are cordially invited to Palia’s titular Royal Highlands as part of this massive expansion. Featuring golden fields filled with beautiful yellow hues and hints of red, this majestic region absolutely looks the part.

While there, players can set out to discover this sprawling region filled with treasures, foreign fauna, long-forgotten secrets, and even new villagers.

In the case of the latter, Palia’s Royal Highlights will introduce newcomer Eshelon to its grand narrative. Players can also continue the storylines of other characters they have come to know and love.

Palia’s Royal Highlands Expansion also has players contending with Amber Echo, which has proven to be endemic to the zone. Affecting both its flora and fauna, players can break it loose and gather it.

Of course, players will need to find a proper way to get around these Royal Highlands, and that’s where its new horses come into play. 

Allowing players to travel in style, completing one of Palia’s easily accessible new quests will allow players to walk, trot, canter, and even gallop with their new friend.

One can even bounce across Palia’s different mushrooms for some added whimsy! Just note that the only thing off-limits are other people’s houses – it is a “Royal” expansion after all…

One can also utilize Palia’s Ranching Skill (which was introduced last fall) in lockstep with these horses early on, completely free through gameplay progression.

Featuring a brave new world ripe for exploration, Palia’s Royal Highlands Expansion is set to provide a positively regal world – and the horses to traverse it! – when it launches May 12.

Learn more about this update via the official Palia website.

In the interim, players can now dive into Palia’s newly revealed 10 Million Player Celebration Event – we’re talking right now!

Running through May 11 (right before the Royal Highlands expansion launch on May 12), players can take advantage of a number of free mystery outfits and decor items.

Anthony Leung, CEO & Co-Founder of Singularity 6, said the following:

“When we first opened Palia to members of the community, we dreamed of building a high-fantasy world that felt like a home away from home.

Our community has helped us realize that vision. 

Continually inspiring and guiding us to help Palia become more welcoming, charming, and friendly than we could have ever imagined, and we are so incredibly grateful to all 10 million of you who have been along for the journey. 

However long you’ve been a Palian, this celebration is for you.” 

Palia is now available for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, GeForce Now, and the official Palia website.

For those feeling social, make sure to follow the official Palia YouTube, Twitch, Twitter/X, Instagram, Bluesky, and TikTok social media channels.

An official Palia Discord channel is also available for those looking to join the conversation.

Thank you to PR for inviting us to this Palia Royal Highlands preview session, and the Singularity 6 team for their time!
