Today, we're diving into huge news from Singularity 6: they've been acquired by Daybreak Game Company, known for games like EverQuest and The Lord of the Rings Online. This partnership brings amazing resources to Palia, promising new content, enhanced social features, and quality-of-life improvements. Despite the acquisition, Singularity 6 will keep its creative independence under Co-Founders Anthony Leung and Aidan Karabaich. This is a major step forward, pushing Palia towards its 1.0 launch and expanding its reach across major platforms. Stay tuned for more updates on how this will make Palia the coziest online multiplayer game!

If you need proof of how amazing this player community is just hang out by the prize wheel in the underground around 3am everyone naturally lines up and waits their turn to spin the wheel. We all play this game as a big friend group. Announcing flow groves and palladium spawns in chat for everyone to get resources. Love this player community!
Love that as well, and then everyone waiting for all people for the groves 🫶
Agreed! One of the best communities I've ever played with.
yeah it is very nice. though there are times when other players cant see you and they'd insert in line, and you'll merge with them lol
Also helping people out by fulfilling other peoples request
Sometimes you get a dirk who cuts or who table ninjas spots.... but overall yes, it's great
I just hope they don't change it too much. I like cozy exploration. I don't want fighting or anything like that. It would be AWESOME if they released real plushies that had promo codes for in-game stuff like seeds, furniture, plushies, etc.
I would definitely buy real plushies lol as I love the inworld plushies soo much
Real plushies AND an actual deck of hot pot cards!
Combat is coming to palia. It's already been confirmed by S6.
@@MrGreekstatue That would take away from the "cozy game" vibe.
Personally I'd love a mine that's dungeon like. Almost like stardew valley esque
Agreed, going to keep a positive view on this as well as long as there's no P2W and they continue to keep the fanbase in mind this could be what Palia honestly needed.
Imagine if they had just lowered their prices on their costumes to not cost 50 bucks and more. how many more sales they would have and how many more employees they would have been able to keep
You can buy a full set with 3 outfits for ~16 dollar worth of coins. idk where you live but let me know cause money seems to be worth much more there.
@@JodieEdits paid $35 for an outfit with 3 color variations and a pet, kinda pricey
@@sinsiddy6924For a completely free game with all required content to progress being completely free, I think thats reasonable really.
@@JodieEdits all the sets cost different amounts of money.
I'm ridiculously excited. I remember playing FreeRealms and keeping up with the games Daybreak did, and they did amazingly with the social aspects of FreeRealms alone before it shut down, along with housing and other things. They absolutely listened to player feedback then, regularly implemented them, and was transparent about it.
I'm SO ready for this.
The "before it shut down" part concerns me.
@@zoyadulzura7490 right? ha
@@zoyadulzura7490 FreeRealms lost a lot of its player base because Sony focused on other projects that were bringing in more money and players. A lot of players had also quit to play Wizard101 back when it first came out and there was an overlap of Club Penguin players too. Seeing as FR was free to play and the premium membership was a one time purchase for a lifetime of free monthly rewards it didnt bring in a lot of money after awhile. I don't think it was Daybreak's fault it shut down but rather the competitive market and financial issues.
@@zoyadulzura7490 They were focusing on other games & FreeRealms and a Star Wars game were the under performers in comparison is all. They had also just gone to a private investor & changed to Daybreak from Sony Online Entertainment.
I very highly doubt them acquiring an open beta MMO that's been this loved already means anything negative for a while, if at all
@@zoyadulzura7490tehy didn't actually shut down for a bad reason they just wanted to make games gears toward adults and not children that's literally what they said was the reason
Dude, being in the discord after the news dropped was wild! I don't know a thing about Daybreak so ngl all the people being doom and gloom in there got me super worried about the future of Palia. This video is a bit reassuring. I just hope the premium shop prices won't go up cause everything is already stupid expensive as it is. For me, most of the outfits cost anywhere between $20cad to over $50cad for *a single outfit*. I let imagine the prices for those bundles 😬 There's a couple cheap bundles that come out as $20 to $30cad, but there's only about 2 or 3, the rest is expensive.
I'm excited to learn more about that cookbook you mentionned. My friend and I were playing yesterday and saying how the food in game looks so good and we'd love to try it so that's good timing lol
For the 1,700 coin bundle it's about $16.50 USD
@@stoneycooper9758 😅$16.50 usd to be able to get more than 1 item is great, but when you add in the currency exchange for CAD ... and then add in the taxes depending on province, it gets pricey on our end.
I'm scared, but hopeful. I just got my mom a switch lite last night, and woke to this news. I got it so she could play Palia with me, so I'm concerned its gonna tank. She is still learning, she keeps wanting to only use the movement and not the camera too, so its taking some getting used to for her to use both hands. Also she keeps wanting to hold the switch with 1 hand and press A with her finger, instead of using her thumb. 😅 She'll get there. Hopefully the game doesnt become pay to win.
I am fairly new and I don't know if its a good thing or a bad thing. I just wanted to buy something in their premium store and now I am a bit hesitant.
The prices for very basic outfits are way to high and I would like to see them diversifying their products so low income players have something nice too.
I mean if they need a 20 Dollar outfit in the store, let them but a basic outfit with a backpack should be around 5 Dollar.
Over time players would pay more into the game if they can buy a small thing every month.
With the new ownership they have to give a clearer road map for the game and the monetization.
Its basically a good thing, bcs now Palia will stay around for a lot longer now, without the acquisition palia would've been dead in the next 2 months, now the game will have a couple years to come
I would also like to see them providing lower cost options for low income players.
I feel like this is a good thing. They have financial backing now and prayerfully they can focus on making the game last for a long time. I agree to wait to see how things play out.
The Elderwoods would be great, but I want to see the Capitol! That would be a massive expansion--lots of new characters, more Galdur. I don't know what their plans are. We could meet some of Subira's colleagues and Jel's family.
I think it's natural to be initially concerned when something like this happens, so it's nice to hear some potential positives 😊 great vid!
I’m staying hopeful because anything else is unacceptable. 😅
We need boats! We need to be able to use all this awesome water!! Scuba dive adventures and treasures!! A hot springs and juice bars would be awesome too! My home is lacking a pool!! Hint hint!!
Thanks for giving a positive perspective on this Percival. Really we will just have to see what happens. I am nervous as a switch player, but again, we'll see.
Party system on switch needs work. Won’t let me ad or let ppl ad me most of the time. Then it’ll crash and when I load back up I’m in a party. It’s frustrating 😅.
This could be the boost S6 needs to improve Palia. Fresh eyes, fresh ideas. More financial backing. I have heard that Daybreak's games have lasted for many years so they don't sound like a group that will quash a game with such devoted followers. I hope all the great people that evisioned Palia get rehired and the game moves on with even greater content. Thanks for being so positive and I can't wait to hear about your cookbook.
Financial control. Daybreak Games isn't Santa Claus lol.
@@Kayenne54 too true. Just trying to stay positive here. 🙂
Later for years… Except for EverQuest Landmark where many of us paid $99 to get into the alpha and then it was acquisitions by Daybreak and closed down; never made it to live even though the potential was 110% there.
@@lostarsm9240 This happens a lot. I'm wondering if Company A "acquires" Company B, simply to shut down any "competition" re. a certain game? Like, I'll buy all your lemonade from your stand, that closes you down. Now I'm Lemonade Stand King of the street?" (even if I just dump your lemonade into the gutter?)
@@Kayenne54 companies buy companies to increase their assets. This allows them to get into different tax brackets, get better deals for insurance from healthcare companies, fund an ESOP or 401k for their employees, put more $$$ into the company bank accounts (think: everything new coming in cash can backfill what was spent in the purchase) and then once they make back their $$$ the rest is all profit. They can then give raises to their employees (but mostly just executives, everybody else gets the standard 3% or less). Oh yes and also get better credit deals for loans and other things. It is rarely about shutting down competition, mostly it's about making money.
I have been playing Palia since last Septmeber and i still love the game. I have spent well over £100 on outfits etc so far.
Love the positivity ❤
Thanks for the informative video!
Interesting news. We'll have to wait and see.
I have been playing Lord of the Rings Online for 17 years, they have been through a few game companies but I appreciate Daybreak for keeping the game alive after all these years. I hope this means that the development will get a lot more support and will be able to make Palia into a much larger game. LOTRO does have a lot of pay-to-win items in their store however the game is still totally enjoyable without those items and they aren't necessary to play the full game.
he said he had a decently informed contact with the inside and yet the part that made me jealous in this video was him saying he doesn't get stressed easily
The Reddit post comments about this had me worried a bit, no lie.
Face it, Reddit has been overstocked with doomers since they open their doors
Loooooore Man!!!! 🎉🎉
I see a small "premium status" sub-option coming. Increased experience, more resources, and a discount on store vanity items.
5:52 every time someone asks me why i love palia so much, i rave about how the dev team listens to the player base 🥺 it has been a dream, i still love the game, will give them a chance, and hope for the best! I've supported in the ways i could so far, and will keep doing so until it doesn't make sense anymore!
Idk why but my buttons are buged after the update ,when i put mouse on the button any one it doesnt work but when i move mouse above the button it works then how do i fix this???????
Hola, envía un ticket. Así se me resolvió
I had this too, go to game settings and change to windowed mode then once it’s set change it back to full screen, it fixed it straight away for me
I’m honestly super worried. I was afraid this was going to happen 😢. Daybreak destroyed EQ Next Landmark!!!! I never loved another game quite like that one and many other people loved it too. Daybreak made it so it no longer was going to be free to play, made everyone who purchased access to beta pay again. They fired everyone on Sony’s team that made Landmark so wonderful. Afterwards, they released new cosmetics in the store and after a month or so of collecting money they’ve erased and killed the game and now no one can ever play it again. I do hope that with the new owners Daybreak has changed for the better🤞🏻
Landmark….. gosh you just brouht some nice times back 😅
Just like everything, There is currently nothing to actually complain about, its all speculation on what they are going to do. so im not going to stress about what they 'could do' & just enjoy the game as it goes & have hope that S6s message about keeping their mission is true/doesn't get mixed up.
but, until there is something to complain about, then im happy for the company advancing & excited to see any changes to Palia that come from it.
Very interesting...I hope this brings the game along...need to stop the crashes. .. fix the bugs....get some new quests continuation. Yeah I think that would be great. Not really any other games out there that come close.
I’ve looked through the recipes, they are tempting, gonna make one a week,..
I'm excited to see where daybreak will bring Palia.
honestly knew this would happen eventually because free 2 plays games almost always meets this fate depending on their methods but wow that was quick! edit: seeing as how daybreak had everquest series I thought this was a good news sort of thing until I learnt maybe not since daybreak has a thing with monetization which means, is Palia content going to become paywalled/P2P??
man i just hope palia gets more updated with the dark scenes with bahari ripper ,like wise and yes thanks for the news Perzival...👍
Cautiously optimistic ... as long as there's no P2W. That will kill it for me. But I'll continue playing to see how it goes =)
I clicked for the palia news but as of a few minutes in all I want to know is PERZIVAL DON'T F*&K WITH US NOW ARE YOU A FIREFIGHTER BC THAT WOULD BE AWESOME
I was for 6 years!
I only had experience with Daybreak from Planetside 2 and I don't remember it being all that bad. I feel like this is the most "alive" game they've acquired. With a decent amount of their titles in double digit anniversaries and still getting updates, I feel like Palia's future existence is secured.
It'll be interesting to see if Daybreak integrates this game into their All-Access sub model. What will be their hook to try to get people onto that subscription? Planetside 2 had exp boosts and an ingame /cash shop currency stipend. Really gotta thread the needle on that front.
Wonder what's gonna happen to our monthly updates or patches!?🤔🤔
Daybreak valued at 3bil!! That's crazy lol.
I would like our pal's to be able to wander our plot and play. Love the new Drake pals
We don't know until we know, ya know?
We need to be able to sleep or bathe and gain focus or something else. Why get all this stuff for our home when we can't use it?? PS: Focus bubbling hot tub plzzzzz!!
I feel like I played hotspot with you today
I hope they bring on some new coders that can fix the issues palia has!
Alil freaked out BUTTTT as long as Palia stays around and like others have said.... no real changes other the awesome developments that have happened... Just love this game and want it to stick around. It sucked that some layoffs happened, Yes... lets stay positive :) Im hoping for new areas with new fish, bugs and such... more stuff as to the NPC's... Look forward to seeing what happens with this.
I just want dynamic weather and seasons 😩
Yes? & they could release certain bugs & animals that only come out when its raining/snowing or whatever.
I'm a founder/lifetimer in LotRO so I know how scary it can be when your beloved game changes hands. But I want to believe it will bring good things... fingers crossed 🥰
How do i visit a friends land and how can they visit mine?
thanks for making this! I am confused how palia would be make into a ptw model, would there just be another currency or something that allowed you to buy premium furniture or something like that?
Furniture wouldn’t be PTW. Pay to win means let’s say.. buying bundles of iron or ingredients etc that actually affect things, or locking quests behind paid walls. Stuff that affects gameplay, basically. Cosmetics (furniture and clothing) isn’t pay to win because it’s aesthetic additions without having an actual affect on your gameplay. I hope that helps!
A good way of explaining: if Palia had combat in it in the future, if they made a really good sword only possible to get via real money, and free players can only get a worse sword, that would be PTW.
@@RowanWolf22 ohh ok thank you!
Going to keep playing and enjoying the game until they give me a reason to move on to another game.
I'm cautiously optimistic about the change. So long as they don't radically change the game, I'm happy.
I think this is good news. A lot of people are addicted to negativity and any sudden change triggers their addiction. This development team needs a boost with delivering quality gaming and financial backing. A lot of people will flip out but they are the people that would eventually flip out over something. They live for it. Freaking out about nothing has become a normal part of most people's lives. Gaming isn't for everyone and the "casual gaming community" is prime example. Something small changes and they burn the entire game to the ground with negative reviews and move on to the next bandwagon.
Some worries are justified; I was an excited $99 Trailblazer to EverQuest Landmark. It’s not about being addicted to negativity.
Initially I was so excited about this and then I went to Reddit last night. *yikes lol Now I'm back to pretty excited! Hey at least EA or Gameloft didn't acquire them. 🤷♂
Oddly enough, EA actually has a pretty decent track record with MMOs specifically. They currently have a handful under their wing and its hard to say any are predatory. Thats almost the opposite of Daybreak and their involvement in the space. I bring up the mmo publisher because that is essentially who bought Palia.
I want Bahari City so bad! Send my girl on a train to get some hotpot!
I haven't watched the video yet, just reading the comments, if it's the same Daybreak that's running EQ they've kept my first MMO alive to this day and it's still the game I know and love from 20 years ago so now I gotta figure out if it's the same one because it's not something to freak out about if it's the same Daybreak they'll be fine, there is still expacs for EQ going on now I'm like 10 behind because I stopped buying them as I don't have anyone to play EQ with anymore but the point is they still update a game that was probably the second MMO to ever exist and has the graphics of a potato for the 5 people that still play it XD
I mean Daybreak doesn't have the best track record, but maybe it will be different for Palia. Fingers crossed. You do bring up a good point, we all need to give them a few months and see what happens, thats all we can do.
The game crashing all the time is the biggest problem , they keep adding new stuff when they should be fixing the problems with this game crashing
The game doesn’t crash for me. What happens to me is I can’t click on anything. I can’t switch tools, I can’t place stuff in my chests, and I have difficulty logging in.
Palia doesn't crash for me. I also don't have the issues stellalecarde does. I play on PC, not Switch.
It happens to me on switch everytime I play. Ive been thinking about getting a pc recently haha
The game was definitely struggling so this is good. This is the monetary support they need atm. A lot of this recent update’s content was actually intended for the summer update (and summer island) but they ended up having to split it because they just can’t get things out due to financial stuff. This is good! People are doombraining too much and it’s causing too much panic. They still own their game but now they have their own “big parent company” providing the funding to hopefully hire some more people so they can be back on track. A lot of the datamines content was scrapped and hopefully we can see some of it come back 🤞
I wouldn’t be opposed to a subscription situation though. I play StarStable, which is a huge MMO - And while it has its own problems, because they have a monthly/yearly/lifetime subscription to play it, they can bring out updates EVERY SINGLE WEEK, whether quality of life, events, storylines or general graphical small changes around the world. That game’s been going on for 7 years. Subscriptions aren’t too bad honestly, so if it goes that way, I’m down for it.
I'm good with a subscription also... but wonder if they keep the pricing as is in the Premium store. I've spent over $250 on this game since last August, looking at it as "well I played WoW for years and gave them $15 a month plus bought the game(s)." I don't know if I could do subscriptions AND these store prices every month. I really hope they don't introduce FOMO into the plan. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
hard disagree, subscription games are HORRIBLE and if it turns to subscription i won't be able to play anymore. subscription makes me feel like i have to play a bunch in a month to make it worth the cost (i'm on disability) and then i feel guilty i can't play enough then i feel like it's not fun when i play cause i'm playing just to get my moneys worth and it's this whole thing and i freaking hate it. i cannot afford subscription financially or emotionally
I hope they drop the cosmetic prices
yes & no, if they drop cosmetic prices then they are going to add more things to pay for to recoup & gain more... it is a business, so im kinda okay with cosmetics being middle-high range priced especially if it means its the only paid for content, eg: no pay to win.
Maybe we'll get better item sorting after almost a year of asking for it
omg I can't watch you gardening, I'm screaming at the screen, just plant the damn thing!
What do you mean by ranching?
Cows, sheep- farm animals. They were meant to come out but got delayed. They have cow and chicken game variants for ranching (eggs and milk)
Oromos
so long as they keep the cash shop the same as it is right now and that they keep sending updates, im fine with it
Yep, keeping a positive outlook on this. I waited over 2 years to get my hands on Palia, I can give them another 6 months to a year to show me how they plan to go forward. Is the game exactly what I wanted ? No because of no proper trading - I regularly submit suggestions of a trading opportunity that seems to fit Palia, hopefully one of them will resonate with their idea. It is the only reason I don't play every day after the first month.
Daybreak Studios does NOT have a good history or reputation on what they do with the studio/games they acquire. LOTRO, they only publish, they aren't the developers. It pretty common opinion that they ruined H1Z1. I WANT to be hopeful and keep calm, but I can't deny the pit of doom in my stomach. I hope they don't screw the game up, I really do. We'll see I guess.
What does this mean for the direction of Palia, less bugs, faster fix times?
I’m staying calm….I’m calm, yup…😂
I do not understand even remotely what people are talking about pay to win. There is no pay to win, because there is no end game!
What do they think is going to happen people are going to be able to pay for their achievements or their collections?
Maybe certain quests and story arcs behind paywalls?
It means exactly what it says, you Pay to Win.
Daybreak is Notorious for implementing lots of "Brand New Game Features". They like incorporating brand new systems in their games.
As an example, if they decide to add combat, well, they can easily make it so that you can buy Flow infused Relics, or something so that you could finish an objective that would be otherwise very difficult to complete on your own.
Instead of Temples in Ederwoods, why not add Dungeons? To explore these dungeons, maybe there's secret areas you can only explore, and acquire special loot with Unique tools, only obtainable through real money.
These are all silly scenarios ofc, but my point is Daybreak has a habit of screwing over a loyal fan base by adding a bunch of unnecessary items, and systems to make it take long to progress your account. While there's no "End Game" now, it is an MMO Light. Some things follow a formula structure, so, it's not hard to guess that they would go this avenue, as it's nothing new to them. Just a new passionate player base to exploit unfortunately.
Hopefully, it doesn't become p2w. Would be disappointing. I am happy to buy shop items on my own leisure not being forced to buy game materials. Would be sad to see such a good game become a p2w
Plain and simple for me. if any pay to win stuff gets added I just uninstall the game. just keep the game as is and expand it with features and areas etc. And I will keep playing it.
Im confused how a non competitive game like Palia can possibly become pay to win lol
DEVS! wanna make hunting more fun? Give console players auto aim function.
Daybreak killed H1Z1. Bad experience with them.
420th like. You're welcome
Im more concerned about being a switch user. They dont seem to care, unless you are a Pc player.
FFS not DAYBREAK…I still hate them for closing EverQuest Landmark in their acquisition of it after taking our $99 alpha testing cost.
Pay to win what?? Seriously.
I just cannot listen to you talk while listening to loud music. Can you please consider that in the future?
I’ll keep adjusting the volume! Thank you for letting me know. It was coming out great on my end but I didn’t consider other peoples systems
Sadly, Daybreak is known for absolutely NOT listening to their community and playerbase - Palia was a bad game in and of itself and they didnt listen to their players to improve and make it a viable game and Daybreak, likely, wont make it any better - Its a shame, because Palia might be one of the games with the biggest potential around, its just terrible as it stands
Good lord what a spiel they released. Why even bother? Them telling us things mean nothing nowadays. I only care about what they do since their words literally mean nothing. The ONLY PR person I know tells the truth is Yoshi-P. Absolutely everyone else I've seen/heard has lied 100% of the time concerning their goals and "we won't do this/that", only to do exactly this/that 6 months later when the tension dies down.
Glad I haven't bought anything in the cash shop yet. With all the layoffs, I'm not even sure who I would be paying anyways besides the higher ups that just changed and had no real effort on the game currently.
Here's to hoping the game remains the same. But I bet the 1st thing they do is add some kind of battle royale pvp map cuz pvp games is where the money is at and everyone is trying to be Fortnite.
Daybreak ruined h1z1
Their use of the word pedigree… 🤮
The end of Palia, Daybreak Game Company is a terrible studio. Forgot about h1z1
I didn’t forget about H1. Same how I didn’t forget about DC Online like I mentioned in the video. But I also know the good they have done in other games like LoTRO, Planetside, Everquest (Not Everquest Next, they fucked that one up), etc.
However, if you are going to bring up H1 in discussions, you should also bring up the fact that was before Daybreaks new ownership.
I’m not saying Daybreak WONT destroy Palia, I’m saying that it’s a toss up. If we are bringing up the bad, you have to bring up the good.
And if you read the Glassdoor reviews of S6, Palia was heading down a dark path and something needed change.
@@PerzivalGG I mean, LoTRO is Standing Stone Studios, still under Daybreak's parent company, but Turbine/Standing Stone have never really followed Daybreak's way of doing things. They literally shut down PlanetSide 2 development for YEARS to work on a project they killed. Daybreak acquired and basically shut down Redeye/Verdant to get Everquest wholeheartedly and made EQ Next and 2 which are meh.
Honestly, H1Z1 is the only newish project (last decade+) that they control that is still functional. Every single other one is shut down or cancelled. Its hard to say its a toss-up. I'd give it less than a 1 in 20 to be alive within a year.
@@PerzivalGG I think this stinks. Yes some games were amazing back in the days, but those were different times by and for different people. Even EA and UBI were top noch. H1z1 also has had many different names. Its not even called h1z1 at the moment because... Well, we dont talk about it. As you can tell, my biggest struggle is h1z1. Knowing that they will be part of this games development should worry not only me. Also lets not forget that the steam player charts are way off.
Did you sign up for the singularity 6 partner program by any chance...?
@@steve-us2hg Nope, not a partner. Just someone who enjoys the game. Im just viewing it like I view most med calls. If I was quick to base an assumption off of previous situations, a lot of my patients wouldn't have made it. Or a fire call and you need to analyze everything to decide if you're going to fight internally or externally. It's never the same call ever so I apply that to every aspect of my life when it comes to making decisions.
I am just choosing to take a breath on this and make an assumption in 3-6 months.
I get your issue is how they handled H1 but if everyone jumps ship at change, then the game will surely drown. If you enjoy Palia, keep playing Palia until they give you a reason not to play.
@@PerzivalGG I gonna keep short. Im old school and been around games a lot. Seen a lot change and yet sadly daybreak is no good. Different times. Well we will see what it will bring. I hope for the best. Wish you well.
