The “cozy adventure” life sim MMO Palia is entering Open Beta next month.

Players in Palia will explore a modestly sized village while discovering the mystery of what happened to the “ancient humans”.

The denizens of Palia are largely elf-eared people, robots, and other various kind-of-human species.

In Palia, players will do typical life-sim things; grow vegetables, mine, explore, surprisingly there’s even hunting, though actual MMO combat might not be this game’s focus.

You can check out the Open Beta trailer below:

Immerse yourself in the village community by honing your skills in fishing, hunting, gardening, crafting, and more!

According to the official site, progress made in Palia during the beta tests will persist into the live game.
