The cozy online life sim Palia is now coming to Xbox & PS5, taking you to undiscovered new forests in the “Elderwood” update. Experience farming, crafting, and friendship!
A basic concept of pretty much every online game is combat. No sooner has the character editor been exited than the fresh hero is already running across the field with a rusty short sword in their paws, beating up unsuspecting rats and goblins for loot and XP!
But it doesn’t have to be that way!At least not in Palia, the cozy “Cozy Online LifeSim.” Here, it’s not about defeating monsters, but about creating your own little paradise.
In Palia, it’s all about relaxed and peaceful coexistence. You cultivate your own garden, go on exploration tours in enchanted forests, and collect valuable resources.
At the heart of the game are crafting and housing, i.e. the ability to design your own home exactly as you want it. On top of that, you can make friends with other players and the quirky NPCs in the village, help each other with complex large-scale projects, and experience the little joys of everyday life together in an enchanting, colorful fantasy world.
In this trailer, you can see how cute and charming Palia is:
In fact, this game mechanic is extremely motivating and downright addictive. No sooner have you pitched your first tent on your own plot of land and planted a few carrots than you don’t want to leave, and before you know it, you’ve invested many hours in interior design and gardening.
Now is the perfect time to join Palia or return to it.
