Animal Crossing and Valheim-l🧸ike Palia will be entirely free to play when it launches🥀 on PC.

Yesterday, Palia developer Singularity 6 released a lengthy , detai൲ling exactly why the forthcoming game would be free-to-play. The post, penned by Singularity 6's business lead, revealed that Palia wouldn't just be without a price tag at launch, but it'd also be i🐈ncorporation certain free-to-play elements into its design.

Namely, Palia will monetize cosmetic items when it launches. Although this might sound alarm bells ringing in the heads of some players, Singularity 6 assures players this is where monetization begins and ends in P🐼alia. ℱIn other words, the developer will never charge players for game-progressing items, and you won't be able to purchase loot boxes.

What's more, you can't buy the things you can ear𒁃n, and you can't earn the things you can buy. There's a very clear dividing line between the things you can and can't purchase in Palia, and the things that do and don't have any effect whatsoever on the actual minute-to-minute gameplay. Palia will also put all available items for sale at once, so it won't revolve around a constantly-rotating storefront with differing items and cosmetics.

If you're unfamiliar with Palia, it's basically a mash up of Animal Crossing and Valheim, within the housing of a vast MMO. When we spoke to the development team in our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Palia interview last year, they teased a main story that would potentially take years to reveal, and also cited The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Studio Ghi🌳bli as direct influences. All things considered, Palia's one game keeping an eye on over the coming year.
