- Daybreak Games has announced that they have purchased Singularity 6, the studio making Palia with the goal to bring that Cozy MMO to launch.
Long-term followers of MMOs and Daybreak specifically may remember under SOE they actually had a cozy MMO of their own a while back called "Free Realms" which closed down in 2014 among several other MMOs.

Palia is a really nice concept of MMORPG, and really wish it will be able to establish itself. It is the kind of game I think the gaming world needs. Something cute, kind, with no fighting and no competition.
It doesn't need a big population, so players should not really care of their number. You do not need other players to enjoy Palia (even if it's fun to invite friends to visit your home)
It also have a VERY fair monetisation, with a cosmetic cash shop that does not interfer with what players can create or obtain in game.
really only need one or two others for flow trees, but ya pretty much solo after.
Don't you have to buy the new house plots?? I wouldn't say that's very fair... but I get it. I'd like to get some of the newbies without having to pay 15+ dollars
BRO I GREW UP ON FREE REALMS THATS WHERE ALL THIS STARTED 😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@beepboop97 it's not house plots, but plot cosmetics. You don't obtain an additional plot, but a skin to use for your current plots ! The same way as for the outfits and tool skins ! It's purely optional content, you don't need it to continue playing or finish all the game contents.
The game is cute but lacks content, Also when played it there was no real reason to interact with other people
If you want to interact with people maybe play WoW? I don't know, it feels like every game out there has emphasis on interacting. Plenty of people (myself included) would prefer to play solo, especially since nobody I know personally plays Palia.
@@lizbutler2256 Well when the game advertises itself as a "Massively Multiplayer Online Game"......
@@Jimmy-wf6vy When I got it I just heard it was a cosy open world game, so sorry and all that, but I don't think I'm personally at fault for not knowing anyone who plays.
Free Realms was one of my favorites back then. It was extremely fun to log in and play a little bit to relax. No long commitments, just log in and do something fun.
I'm not necessarily convinced of my own theory here, but my first thought when I saw this news was something along the lines of: "Hmm, the company that's in the process of trying to hire people to build a new MMO (probably) just purchased an MMO developer." I'm not sure what any of that means for Palia in particular, but I can't help but wonder if this was as much about talent-acquisition for other projects as anything else.
I bet it was a confluence of factors that led EG7 toward acquiring Palia. (Cheap purchase price, talented team, pretty darn good game even at its bare bones state, ability to grow Palia, etc.) However, Singularity 6, and their network, probably can leverage talent into EG7 to ramp up Everquest when the time comes ... Singularity 6 obviously has Unreal Engine 5 experience that would be valuable to EQ3.
Yeah. They probably bought them so they'll work on EQ3.
I love Palia and have spent a small fortune on clothing to support the devs since last August.. I wish them all horrible karma if this was just a purchasing of people for another game.
Would be hilarious if they bought the devs who made a single player game but online to make an MMO. I honestly think it's unlikely.
The same thing happened to World of Warcraft and now its not even close to being the game it was when it started , im highly disappointed in both game developers . im trying to like Palia , but for some reason i always find the toxic jerks . i switch servers , and even toons . cant get away from them .
Imagine how much better Origins could have done if they had advertised it...
then the launch wouldn't be so smooth..? word of mouth is perfect for it imo.
I have reached out to the team in regards to help them with marketing and advertising… I hope they take it seriously.
Don’t you, “… and even Vanguard…” me. Still too soon. 😢
Had to bring back the memory of the carnage of the 2014-2017ish era :(
@@Redbeardflynn FREE Vanguard!!
No, I'm not crying.... still.
OMGG I played FreeRealms as a Kid and i loved it so much!! I even started to play Palia beccause of that and now have houndreds of hours. I didn´t knew all this information about the origin of the game or the company, thank you so much for your content!
Of course! Thank you so much for watching!
Daybreak gives me the sense that they want to do everything on the cheap. The first thing that came into my mind when I saw this was...did Daybreak do this so they could use the skeleton/foundation of this game for the rumored EQ3?
I mean they wouldn't want to license anything and given the precarious state of Palia they probably got a good deal purchasing it and now they could use the foundational elements of the Palia world and systems as a foundation for EQ3. That would be quite a shortcut plus they potentially make revenue on Palia itself. It may not end up being a great thing for EQ but it wouldn't surprise me if that was their plan.
I bet that was definitely a thought that ran through their minds. EG7 does have developer capacity in their ranks with Mechwarrior, Toadman, and now Singularity 6. I bet they will be able to round out a decent team within their ranks to help develop or consult on EQ3.
What a horrid thing to do to the fans of this game. I will pray daily that EQ3 fails.
No. After what they did to Everquest Next and Landmark.... I have Zero trust in Daybreak not to shut the project down in 6 months... actually... Palia kinda resembles Landmark aesthetically.
I feel the same. Can't forget Everquest Next Scam. At least John Smedley is no longer in Daybreak...
Very nice. Thanks for covering Palia :)
Of course!
I know a lot of people dont see the potential and say there is no content but for someone with ADHD who has 12hour shifts I love this game. I can turn my brain off after a long day at work and run around farming or cooking with friends or just decorating my house. I know right now people dont see what the game has to offer but trust me when I say that under the right people this game can become something amazing ❤ I choose to stay positive about Palia🎉
I wonder if they'll break down and add some combat. A lot of people would really like to see it come to the game.
Honestly this is what has kept me from trying Palia. I'd love to see it become more like a Stardew Valley MMO. Combat doesn't have to be incredible, but that game is definitely helped by having it as a pillar, you know?
As a long time Lotro & DDO player, everyone should be VERY, VERY happy that this went to Daybreak. Daybreak has a track record of loving and caring for old, dying games that have no business still being on the market, even resurrecting them to the point of growing again. Look at Lotro; I can't believe it's coming back.
Daybreak has a record or ruining and destroying things it touches lmfao, lotro is only got interest because it was the only thing daybreak had that still had a playerbase, that that's because other mmos are failing. It's just another tencent underhand that's looking to milk it.
I like palia . The fact there is no PVP is great . It is my kind of game. It does need some upgrades in game play and content.
Hopefully now it will get just that, some upgrades and push it all the way over into its 1.0 launch!
Great video! U've gathered alot of info I didnt see anywhere else! Thx!
Thank you so much! Glad you found it useful!
Palia would need a major upgrade for me. I gave it a try since it first launched and it didn't really feel like it had the MMO part of a cozy MMO, so I lost interest.
Daybreak? yeah the games ruined - Daybreak ruins everything it touches and only cares if it makes money.
You want to save palia? Wildstar housing. Will someone PLEASE just copy paste wildstar housing?
Palia's improved a LOT. Still a bit shit, though.
As always great video Red! I have some time in Palia. It is nice and cozy. Good to load up and play a bit to wind down after a raid or other more involved gaming situation.
Daybreak is where games go to die, this is a sure sign of the end IF their past is any track record. I'm usually pretty optimistic but Daybreak is a red flag for me.
Watching this while waiting in a queue for Teek.
I was in Queue earlier too!
I sure hope so
I don't think S6 can find it's backside with both hands. Maybe EG7 can help out.
I doubt they did this to save Palia, but a cheap way to mine Palia's code - that can be used for other Daybreak ventures.
palia is fun game, also i was playing my necro on teek, and farming the undead deck hands, and i saw your corpse. get gud :D
Well, maybe I can get back into Palia now...
Palia was so lame I stopped playing the free beta lol
I have been playing Lord of the Rings Online for 17 years and I still love it so I appreciate Daybreak for keeping it going. I hope they are able to keep Palia going and add a lot more content. I love the vibe of the game and the art style but it's really lacking content.
i have this on Switch. It's boring as hell.
I find it obviously "curious" when the news is that a $45mil/year company is purchased by a $25mil/year company. Someone aught to dig a little deeper to see how that happens. LOL
Maybe it's the holding company that now owns both that Actually bought S6? Hopefully they don't pull a Freerealms action.
DBG's "owners" have had a long and "interesting" history. All three of them.
Dbg is owned by eg7. Has been since 2020
@@Redbeardflynn Yes. You have to go back to 2015 and 2018 to see their entire history from the start. The One thing you will see is the same guy was in charge and is now the majority share holder in EG7. They've had to "divest" themselves twice to avoid Russian collusion issues. LOL
Palia is a community sim more than an MMO, and I think they could really take off if they gave more community and more sim but not necessarily MMO stuff. I dont want combat in it, I can play GW2 for that. I want them to look at what Sims players and players of AC & other games love or ask about and get creative
As frequent player of Palia that I found on lunch at the nintendo switch, I fell in love with the world building and the mysteries of the storyline. It is most defiantly a breath of fresh air for me since when my house hold goes from minecraft to cult of the lamb then whiplashes back to borderlands and fallout (yes the whole family plays together, im just mama bear making the family minecraft realms look nice) I am really hoping that by Singulaity6 gets a really good helping hand cuz if not, then how we gonna go and see everyone's muscle mommy Siffuu?
We play Palea and it's great. The 'combat' isn't there...basically at all, but the hunting is kinda fun. So it has potential...maybe if DB gets a hold of it I can't camp Guise again :)
I played Palia extensively for a few weeks, but ultimately realized it was just a very good idea, but horribly done. I really hoped that Palia would be so much better than i ultimately was, a huge letdown. As much dislike i have for Daybreak Games and the way they tend to handle things, i do think that could infuse Palia with some much needed progress and changes, to make it actually be engaging to play for longer than a week or so. Palia could have been a totally amazing game, but it just felt so flat, and eventho we know we'll see more Microtransations with a Daybreak purchase, it might still be for the better for the game. I am definitely excited to see what kind of changes they might do to this game and i hope it will be quite a lot
Sandrock Online exists though...I played Palia for a good while and I just don't see it as any better then what Sandrock already offers.
I have heard mostly positive things about this game. This is super interesting.
You know what really sparks my imagination?
This means potentially any tech or ideas used in palia's design are ripe for implementing into a new product... maybe there are aspects in palia that might be a good fit for a future eq product.
For what it's worth I also loved certain aspects in ddo. If they could put the funding together and took the best of all these games they could do something really special.
This is great! Palia is a great game and seems like a full game already, it's a shame they had to let some of their workforce go. I hope this means they can expand as expected :)
If it means they will finally start adding more features for the free to play base, and not put everything behind a paywall like they have been, I'll be happy.
If there was some PVE / Gear and some possibilities to go get some action I would have given a try.
Palia is actually quite fun but definitly feels unfinished. I hope they do right by Palia.
An now it's a dead game.. maybe.. at least they are bot gamigo.. so a chance it will be maintenance mode Plus..
When you've cut the majority of your staff moments after going into Early Access and seeing updates slow...anything is a positive. Palia was clearly in a lot of trouble and I imagine this was preferrable to shutting down.
Daybreak swoops in to correct the type-os in Palia.
waste of money. they could have spent that money on EQ3.
I don't imagine they preclude each other. Most of the work is done on Palia and they just sold the Planetside IP. We'll get a better idea of how its working out with their Q3 and Q4 financials, though from EG7. Not that I understand any of that shit, I just play games and make videos.
@@Redbeardflynn I was just thinking if they had enough money to buy a game, they could have used that money to make EQ3. They 100% know we want EQ3, but daybreak just milks TLPs and plat/krono farmers. I know that they could still make EQ3 and buy Palia both. I am jus frustrated that in 2024/2025 we still have absolutely nothing to look forward to, outside 20-25 year old IPs milking old games for another 10 years.
This game is gonna be a huge furry safe space
Palia's problem is that it need to embrace being a real sandbox mmo and that does mean combat. If Daybreak really wants to take off. They need to combine all their power to make something really great. I'm fine if that is Palia with all its assets and art style but I need reasons for my wife to play it and for my son to play it. Then after all that it still needs to be good enough that I want to play it.
Hmm. Imagine Everquest 1 as it is now, but with the additional layers of "a day in the life of..." from something like Palia.
Would rope in people who enjoy the competitive and non-competitive lifestyle, as well as give people something to do after making max level and in between raids.
Who knows? 🤷♂️
👍✌😉🤪
I'm so tired of "cartoony" graphics. This stuff does not appeal to me at all.
Okay
Yeah its a shame its so pervasive now.
You aren't a woman, trans woman, hyper feminine gay man, or teenage girl?
Well then you're not welcome here in Palia. No outfits, hair styles, or character customization for you. But if you change your mind, there's lots of super masculine purple elves to fuck. I mean romance and rule 34 fanfiction draw.
It's designed for optimization, soys, children, and furries.
Depends a lot on the game, I’m more welcoming of it in settings like this
I know there's some sense of relief that some folks get at "Well, maybe Daybreak will handle being just the Publisher like they do with SSG"...
My dude, you don't know the kind of dread that fills those of us Who Know with. We have seen how Daybreak coming in was the drastic turning point for Lotro's monetization practices, only recently being somewhat mitigated when they were making themselves look good for the playerbase and EG7 (spoiler alert, it's already slipping now that the sale is through). We see how, publicly at this point, people like Sev who have been there through multiple eras are barely even dancing around basically saying Yeah, we want to do X Y and Z, but I have to sell each of those things up the chain based on what the expected Cash return is, and I have to pick my fights while leaving as much as we can in the cash shop. Daybreak is when the pricing for expansions and their editions shot through the roof.
This does not fill me with a ton of optimism if they do in fact treat Singularity 6 like they do SSG. Because SSG has been running on duct tape and bailing wire for years now while they get milked; and for Palia at the stage it's in, that could easily kill the game and scare off the playerbase.
But yeah, as far as the direct comparison goes, the Free Realms vibe is totally accurate :D RIP Free Realms.
Palia is weird. The discord has more traffic than the official WOW discord, but its constant bad news
OMG not another action/arcade rpgbMultiplayer (it is not a mmorpg) a game where u dodge/jump/hide/strafe/run turn around 27 times and almost got dizzy and trow up untill u kill a person is not and mmorpg chrethins pffff. a Mmorpg is a strong skill based rpg tab targeting in an open world envinronment( ZERO importance of loading screens or not) so go da fshak urzelf and play all midgetchinekorezshiaon Arcade/Action Mrpg P2w and stop speak about a game that is not even a mmorpg ,because is not and it will not be !!! MMORPG genre no more exist ..only wow (a wrekage but stilla mmmo, ffIV and maybe Ashes of Creation will be kinda last Mmorpg games ..but in thse days mmorpg games dont exist.
I think they made a major mistake when they decided not to add any sort of combat to the game. Some of the jump puzzles and home customizations are fun. But the game feels like it has a very small gameplay loop which quickly becomes boring. 🤷🏼♂️
Most people who play this game, play this game BECAUSE there is no combat. It's supposed to feel cozy, not stressful...
