Silver Palace launches December 14 as the free Victorian detective RPG heads to PS5, PC and mobile

Cobblestone streets, imposing architecture, criminal investigations and a mysterious substance that everyone wants to control.

Silver Palace aims to bring a distinctive atmosphere to the open-world action RPG.

On October 31, 2026, Elementa confirmed that its upcoming game will launch worldwide on December 14.

The announced platforms are PC, PlayStation 5, iOS and Android.

Silver Palace will be free to download and will feature character collection and progression systems.

The publisher has not yet announced the exact time its servers will open.

Worldwide release scheduled for December 14

The announcement represents a major milestone for Silver Palace.

Since its reveal, the game has appeared at several international events, including Anime Expo, Japan Expo and gamescom.

Elementa has also organized multiple testing periods to gather player feedback.

The release date is now set for Monday, December 14, 2026.

The official announcement identifies the date using UTC+8 but does not specify a launch hour.

Players in other regions will therefore need additional information before they can determine the exact local unlock time.

On PC, Silver Palace will be available through the official website and Epic Games Store.

PlayStation 5, iOS and Android versions are also planned for launch.

No Xbox or Nintendo Switch versions have been announced.

Silvernia is hiding a major conspiracy

The story takes place in Silvernia, a large city inspired by Victorian architecture.

Its streets contain monumental buildings, commercial districts, industrial facilities and less visible corners.

Behind its prosperous appearance, the city depends on a mysterious resource known as Silverium.

The substance has helped drive exceptionally rapid industrial development.

Several organizations are now competing to control its production and influence.

Players become a detective investigating criminal cases and uncovering the tensions that shape the city.

As the investigations progress, the discoveries are intended to reveal a larger conspiracy.

Elementa wants to combine the freedom of open-world exploration with narrative progression based on observation and evidence.

An action RPG where detective work matters

Silver Palace is not simply an action game with a detective-themed storyline.

Investigation is intended to be one of its central gameplay systems.

Demonstrations and beta versions have shown different ways of advancing investigations.

Players can search for clues, examine locations and question characters.

Some situations also involve reconstructing events to understand what happened.

The aim is to make investigation more meaningful than simply following a marker toward the next conversation.

Branching quests were also demonstrated during the Dichotomy beta.

These features should contribute to the depth of the cases encountered throughout Silvernia.

However, the final release will be needed to establish how consistently the mechanics appear across the full game.

Fast-paced combat and character switching

Alongside its detective setting, Silver Palace features real-time action combat.

Players can assemble a team of characters with different abilities and fighting styles.

During combat, they can switch between characters to chain together attacks.

Elementa places particular emphasis on ability synergies.

One character may create an opening that another fighter can immediately exploit.

The system is intended to reward coordination rather than repeatedly using a single attack.

Gameplay footage shows fast movement, elaborate visual effects and battles against large enemies.

The system's success will depend partly on combat readability and character balance.

The existing demonstrations communicate the studio's intentions, but they do not fully establish the conditions of the final commercial release.

An Unreal Engine 5 open world

Silver Palace uses Unreal Engine 5.

Its art direction combines Victorian architecture, Gothic influences and anime-inspired character design.

Characters have highly stylized silhouettes, while the environments emphasize detailed buildings and distinctive urban spaces.

The combination gives Silvernia a visual identity that differs from more conventional fantasy settings.

Streets, plazas and different districts have been designed to encourage exploration.

The game will also provide different ways to move around the city.

However, the use of Unreal Engine 5 does not automatically establish a particular resolution or frame rate.

Elementa has yet to provide comprehensive technical performance details for PC, PS5 and mobile devices.

More than 15 million preregistrations

Elementa has accompanied the announcement with an important milestone.

The publisher says Silver Palace has surpassed 15 million global preregistrations.

That figure suggests substantial interest before launch.

However, it does not represent 15 million active players or completed downloads.

Preregistration primarily indicates interest in receiving access or notifications when the game becomes available.

A community reward campaign is linked to the sign-up milestones.

Players will be eligible for different resources as specific targets are reached.

Announced rewards include Ounce currency, Simulation Shots and a four-star character.

Not every reward is automatically unlocked at the first milestone.

Distribution depends on the relevant targets and the conditions established by Elementa.

French localization confirmed for launch

Silver Palace is scheduled to support twelve languages at launch.

French is included in the official list.

The other announced languages are English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, Thai, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.

Localization is particularly important for a game whose narrative depends on questioning suspects, interpreting clues and following conversations.

Understanding dialogue details should help players follow the different investigations.

French-language support is confirmed, but the publisher has not provided a complete breakdown of voice acting languages.

It should not therefore be assumed that every supported language includes full voice performances.

Several beta phases before launch

Silver Palace has already undergone multiple public-facing tests.

The Dichotomy beta, which began on PC on July 23, 2026, introduced additional investigations and playable characters.

Elementa advertised more than 40 hours of playable content for that test.

Fifteen characters were included, with eight additions compared with the earlier beta.

Players could also choose between a male and female Detective.

A later technical test, Dichotomy: Retrace, was announced to support further testing.

These sessions allowed players to experience many of the game's systems ahead of release.

They do not guarantee that every character, balance value or progression detail will remain unchanged in the launch version.

Gratia receives a new character trailer

The release date announcement was accompanied by another presentation of Gratia.

The character, associated with a rabbit-eared knight design, appears in a trailer highlighting her personality and combat abilities.

The video forms part of the game's prelaunch campaign and introduces another member of its character roster.

However, it does not provide a complete presentation of every playable character or collection system.

Elementa is also continuing to showcase Silver Palace at gaming and pop culture events.

The game is scheduled to appear at Anime X Game Festival in South Korea in early December.

That event will take place shortly before the worldwide release.

Preregistration is available now

Interested players can preregister through the official Silver Palace website.

The game is also listed on Epic Games Store, PlayStation Store, App Store and Google Play.

Elementa has not announced a universal preload date covering all platforms.

Further information is therefore needed to establish exact availability times and any regional differences.

Silver Palace is scheduled to launch worldwide on December 14, 2026, according to Elementa's official announcement.

The remaining questions concern technical performance, final character balance and the detailed commercial implementation of its collection systems.

What already sets the project apart is its attempt to make detective work more than a narrative excuse for moving through an open-world city.
