Singularity 6 has revealed the roadmap for Palia's Fall Fantasy update series, which will start later in September 2025. The cozy life sim MMO has been a big hit for the studio, and devs have kept busy ensuring it evolves according to player feedback as it edges closer to version 1.0. Now that Palia's next steps are clear, fans have a lot to look forward to.

The studio's debut game was a success from the beginning, but it's reached new heights recently. In May, Palia more than doubled its average Steam concurrent player count after releasing the big Elderwood Expansion. Now fans can get excited about another major influx of new features and content, and the wait won't be long.

Singularity 6 Reveals Fall Fantasy Update Roadmap

In a new Palia Path presentation, Singularity 6's Director of Production Maxwell Zierath revealed Palia's Fall Fantasy series of patches, starting with Patch 0.195, Of Barns and Briars, which is coming on September 10, 2025. One of the biggest upcoming features is the Ranching skill, which will let players raise and breed animals to give them unique visuals and gameplay traits. The June Palia Path revealed that animal husbandry would come soon, but fans now have a firm date to look forward to. Ranch animals will only be available in single-player gameplay to start, but it will get a multiplayer rollout later on.

Palia's upcoming ranch animals can also follow players as a pet, and some traits will be hereditary, letting players pass on abilities to animal offspring for more in-depth breeding. The first patch of the series will also introduce a new series of homes that offer more customization options than players previously had at their disposal. New bundles and bulletin board quests are also incoming. Earlier in 2025, Palia's Solstice Bloom update introduced six new quests, and while the exact number of new quests in Fall Fantasy is unclear for now, it will be substantial. On top of the bundles, players can complete daily mini-quests, which will reward them with Tailor Tickets, a new form of in-game currency that unlocks customization color palettes.

Players will also be able to create custom character profiles to show off their plot values, skills, and more to other users. These profiles, along with additional ranching animals and new community events, won't be in Patch 0.195, but will come in a later Fall Fantasy release. Additional future updates include:

  • Shared housing
  • A new adventure zone
  • An upgraded Photo Mode
  • Refreshed returning seasonal events with new content and tie-ins to themed bulletin board quests
  • New hairstyles, makeup patterns, and earnable outfit pieces

Now that Palia is available on Xbox Series X and PS5, a wider user base will be able to enjoy these updates, too.
