The wait is over. Silver Palace, the Victorian open-world action RPG from Singapore-based publisher and developer Elementa, launched its Dichotomy closed beta test on 23 July 2026 — and it runs until 13 August 2026, giving you three weeks to explore the gaslit streets of Silvernia before the servers close and progress resets.
If you signed up before the July 16 registration deadline, check your email for your access invite. No new sign-ups are being accepted for this round.
What’s New in the Dichotomy Beta
The Dichotomy test is the biggest and most content-complete public build Silver Palace has ever opened to players. The headlining addition is the male protagonist, who becomes playable in the story for the first time — previous tests only let you explore his counterpart’s detective path. Both routes are now available, giving the beta a genuine dual-narrative structure to dig into.
Beyond the story expansion, Elementa has opened previously locked districts of Silvernia, adding new side quests, open-world activities (including driving, chess mini-games, and — yes — riding a Silverium-powered Pegasus across the city skyline), and over 40 hours of playable content in total. Combat has also been refined based on feedback from earlier test phases, with smoother combos and better character responsiveness.
How to Access the Beta
The Dichotomy beta is PC (Windows) only for this phase. If you registered, your invite should have landed in the email you used during sign-up. Players can download the client from the official Silver Palace website at silverpalace.elementagames.com. A couple of things to note: all progress will be wiped when the beta ends on 13 August, and there are no in-game purchases available during the test period.
A Singapore Studio to Watch
Silver Palace sits in familiar territory for fans of Genshin Impact and Wuthering Waves — open-world exploration, multi-character teams, a heavy emphasis on story — but its steampunk-Victorian setting and dual-protagonist detective framing give it a distinct personality. For Singapore gamers, there’s an extra reason to root for it: Elementa is a local studio, and Silver Palace is shaping up to be one of the region’s most ambitious original titles.
The full release is targeting PC, mobile, and console globally. For now, if you have a beta invite, the gates to Silvernia are open. Head to our game news section for more on upcoming releases.
