Elementa has locked in the Silver Palace release date: the open-world detective RPG launches worldwide on December 14, 2026, on PlayStation 5, PC, iOS and Android. The date was confirmed in a press release on October 31, with pre-registration open now on every platform. The launch kicks off at December 14 (UTC+8), and Elementa says the game has already passed 20 million pre-registrations, a milestone it confirmed on November 5.
That number matters because the pre-registration campaign is tied to real rewards. Every sign-up pushes the community closer to the top tiers, and the headline prize is a free 4-star character at 30 million. With five weeks to go, the campaign still has room to run.
Silver Palace release date and platforms
Silver Palace is a free-to-play open-world action adventure RPG from developer Silver Studio, built on Unreal Engine 5. It is set in Silvernia, a Victorian-era city built on wonders and deception, where the player works as a detective taking on bizarre cases, building bonds with companions, and choosing how to handle each encounter: investigate, mingle, judge, or fight.
The launch covers four platforms at once. PlayStation 5 players get it through the PlayStation Store, PC players through a client download and the Epic Games Store, and mobile players through the App Store and Google Play. Pre-registration is live on the official website and the store pages, and the game supports 12 languages at launch.
Elementa describes the game as a detective story first and an action RPG second. Beyond the main cases, players can run a property business, hang out in a cafe, and shape their own routine in the city. It is a different pitch from the usual open-world gacha formula, and that is exactly why the 15 million pre-registrations it had at announcement raised eyebrows. For comparison, Genshin Impact 7.2 Hour of Ruin launched November 4 with a new Snezhnaya region, and the gacha crowd has had no shortage of things to play while waiting.
Pre-registration rewards: what 20 million unlocks
The milestone campaign runs from 15 million to 35 million, with a sixth reward tied to social media followers. Here is where it stands:
15 million: Ounce x80,000 (reached)
20 million: The Science of All Things: Volume III x10 (reached November 5)
25 million: Simulation Shot x5
30 million: a new 4-star character
35 million: Simulation Shot x10
5 million social followers: Simulation Shot x5
Simulation Shots are the pull currency for the character gacha, so the 30 million tier is the one most players care about. Elementa has not said exactly when or how the rewards will be delivered, only that they unlock as milestones are hit. Pre-registering is free, and signing up on the official site as well as a store page is the safe move, since Elementa has not confirmed which sign-ups count toward the total.
What to do before December 14
First, pre-register. The official site and the App Store and Google Play listings are all live, and the game is also listed on the Epic Games Store and the PlayStation Store. Second, do not be confused by the App Store listing, which shows January 31, 2027 as an expected date. That is a store placeholder, not a second launch date. Elementa's date is December 14.
Third, keep expectations in check on the details Elementa has not shared yet. There is no preload date, no confirmed launch hour beyond the UTC+8 date, no system requirements, and no word on file size or monetization beyond the free-to-play label. Those gaps usually fill in during the final two weeks, so the practical move is to pre-register now, bank the milestone rewards, and hold off on any spending decision until the in-game shop is actually shown.
Why Silver Palace is one to watch
The detective angle is the hook. Most open-world gacha games sell scale and spectacle; Silver Palace is selling cases, choices, and a city that reacts to how you handle them. The 20 million pre-registrations suggest the pitch is landing, and a December launch puts it in the middle of the holiday window, when a free game with a low barrier to entry can pick up a lot of curious players.
The question is whether the detective systems hold up past the opening hours. A mystery game lives or dies on its cases, and Elementa has shown trailers and key art rather than long uncut gameplay. December 14 is not far away, and the launch will answer that question fast. Until then, the Path of Exile 2 1.0 full reveal showed how a big December launch can build momentum early, and Silver Palace is following the same playbook: date first, pre-registration push second, details to come.
