Palia Path Roadmap – Summer 2025

Today we’re debuting something special – the Palia Path Roadmap! Think of Palia Path as a seasonal look at what’s coming next, what we’re working on behind-the-scenes, and a sneak peek at content that we’re excited to launch further down the line.

We’ve got a video from Director of Production, Maxwell Zierath, a snazzy infographic, and a whole bunch of cozy (and somewhat chaotic, hehe) content to talk through. Let’s dig in!

To recap the video, read below for a snapshot of all the content Maxwell covered in Palia Path (and a little more, too)!

Radiance Rising (Patch 0.192)

Our next patch 0.192, the Radiance Rising update introduces dynamic events, offers fresh quests, a free Pet, and more. Here’s a quick look at what’s blooming:

• Piksii Blossom Bounce
• Hunt for Prismbeard’s Treasure
• A Pet and a Perk
• Palium Storage Upgrade
• New Plushes and Decor

On the Horizon

Check out what’s coming after Radiance Rising! Some of these features are closer than others, but all are in active development!

• Animal Husbandry
• New Housing Lines
• Ulfe Friendship Quests & Main Story Additions
• Monthly Narrative Quests
• Seasonal Beats

Looking Ahead

You didn’t think Elderwood was the end, right… RIGHT?!! We’ve started planning some longer-lead mechanics, features, and areas that we’re incredibly excited about. While we’re not ready to go into a whole lot of detail, the team is rallying to ship some larger-scale gameplay initiatives down the line, including Shared Housing, and… the next Adventure Zone!!!

We’ve teamed up with the Microsoft Gaming Accessibility Testing Service to run a deep-dive audit of Palia. Their mission: spotlight the most pressing accessibility gaps, map out a clear workflow for our development team to address, and guide us toward adding features that truly move the needle for players. The first wave of fixes ships with the Radiance Rising update, with even more improvements queued up for the patches that follow.

Final Thoughts

From Piksii bouncing to raising your lil’ Ormuu baby from infant to “state fair” champion, we’re so excited to continue delivering the promise of Palia.

We hope the first edition of Palia Path gives you a better sense of what’s on the horizon, what’s nearly ready, and what we’re dreaming about long-term.

As always, thank you for playing, building, decorating, questing, and plush-hunting with us!
