Singapore publisher Elementa’s open-world action RPG Silver Palace has pulled off a double win heading into gamescom 2026: a spot on the official gamescom Award Best Mobile Game shortlist — unveiled today — and more than 10 million global pre-registrations locked in after a massively successful Dichotomy Beta. For a pre-launch title from a studio founded in Singapore just six years ago, both milestones are significant.
What Is Silver Palace?
Silver Palace is an Unreal Engine 5-powered open-world action RPG set in Silvernia, a sprawling Victorian-industrial city powered by a mysterious resource called Silverium. Players take on the roles of dual protagonists with detective investigation skills and real-time partner combat, unravelling conspiracies across a richly atmospheric setting. The game targets PC, iOS, and Android — a rare multiplatform approach built from the ground up to run natively on both desktop and mobile.
Developer Silver Studio and Singapore-founded publisher Elementa (est. 2020) have been building momentum steadily. As we covered in July, the Dichotomy Beta — the game’s largest playable slice yet, featuring 40-plus hours of content — ran from 23 July to 13 August. With 10 million pre-registrations now confirmed, it clearly resonated.
The Gamescom Award 2026 Nomination
The gamescom Award 2026 nominees were published today (24 August), ahead of Opening Night Live tomorrow. Silver Palace landed in the Best Mobile Game category — a competitive bracket that includes HoYoverse’s Genshin Impact and Zenless Zone Zero, Hypergryph’s Arknights: Endfield, and NetEase’s Where Winds Meet. Being shortlisted alongside billion-dollar franchises while still in pre-launch is a meaningful signal that the industry is paying attention to what Elementa is building.
Voting is now open to the public, with winners to be announced during the show floor run (26–30 August at Koelnmesse, Cologne). You can cast your vote via the official gamescom website.
Gamescom Booth: What Visitors Get
If you are in Cologne this week, Silver Palace occupies two booths — Hall 6, Booth C021 and Hall 2, Booth A019. The booth runs across gamescom’s public days (26–30 August) with the following activities:
- Hands-on playable demo of the latest build
- Stage performances four times daily — live band and dance acts
- Professional cosplayers in character for photos
- A themed pumpkin carriage photo spot
- Free Detective Starter Kit at the reception desk
- Limited-edition merch: blind-box coasters, art cards, and acrylic cards for demo completers
If you post a photo from the booth to X (Twitter) with #SilverPalace #gamescom2026 and have pre-registered, you unlock a limited-edition character coaster — six designs distributed randomly.
For Singapore Gamers: How to Pre-Register
No confirmed Singapore release date or SGD pricing has been announced yet — Elementa has not detailed regional launch specifics. That said, the game’s PC, iOS, and Android scope means it should be accessible here once live. Singapore players can pre-register now via the App Store (iOS), Google Play (Android), or wishlist on Steam for the PC version.
With gamescom voting open and a booth full of playable demos, the next few days should give us a much clearer picture of the launch timeline. We will be watching closely — follow our Singapore gaming coverage for any local news on pricing or a release date.
