Elementa opened global pre-registrations for Silver City on PC, PS5, iOS, and Android through the official website, Epic Games Store, PlayStation Store, App Store, and Google Play. Release date, price, and monetization details remain undecided.
Elementa has moved Silver City into pre-registration. Registration opened across the official website, Epic Games Store, PlayStation Store, App Store, and Google Play for a game listed on PC, PS5, iOS, and Android. The studio has run two closed PC beta tests and a demo at gamescom 2026 in Cologne, where marketing director Lucis said European players reacted strongly to the worldbuilding, art style, and Victorian city atmosphere while Asian players focused more on characters and combat. Cinderella, also the final boss of the demo build, was the most popular character among players.
The tests broadened what the game contains. The Dichotomy Test, which ran from July 23 to August 13 and followed the Law of Identity Test that began January 13, introduced a male protagonist along with new characters, a new story, and new explorable areas, and adjusted combat. A PV titled Black Knights Tango showed that protagonist using brutal finishers. At Bilibili World 2026 in Shanghai, a trial version offered two boss battles, a new encounter against Vita et Mors and a return of Cinderella, plus city exploration and mid-boss fights, with parrying timing that appeared easier than in the previous test.
Combat polish is the open thread. Lucis said positive feedback covered combat and UI improvements, but the team also identified issues with camera work, hit effects, and guard and dodge feel. The release date, price, and monetization details remain undecided, and the name of the next test is chosen but not revealed.

Elementa has opened global pre-registrations for Silver City, an open-world RPG for PC, PS5, iOS, and Android. Registration is available through the official website, Epic Games Store, PlayStation Store, App Store, and Google Play. The game ran a demo at gamescom 2026 and has completed two closed beta tests.
In a gamescom 2026 interview, Silver Palace marketing director Lucis discussed the free-to-play detective ARPG's core themes of choice and truth. The protagonist selection kills the unchosen sibling, making loss a personal driver for investigation. The open world, story density, and detective setting drew strong player feedback during the recent Dichotomy Test.
Elementa brought its in-development open-world action RPG Silver City to gamescom 2026 in Cologne, running from August 26 to 30. The booth featured a pumpkin carriage statue, character art, and playable demo stations for four characters. Marketing director Lucis spoke with 4Gamer.net on August 27 about what the studio learned from two closed PC beta tests and from watching European players. Lucis said European players reacted strongly to the worldbuilding, art style, and Victorian city atmosphere, while Asian players tended to focus more on characters and combat. Cinderella, who is also the final boss in the demo build, was the most popular character among players. The second test, the Dichotomy Test, ran from July 23 to August 13, following the Law of Identity Test that began January 13. Lucis said the team confirmed its direction matches player expectations, with positive feedback on combat and UI improvements, but also identified issues with camera work, hit effects, and guard and dodge feel. The release date, price, and monetization details remain undecided. The name for the next test is already chosen but not revealed.
At Bilibili World 2026 in Shanghai, the open-world action RPG Silver Palace offered a trial version with two boss battles: a new encounter against Vita et Mors and a return of Cinderella from the earlier CBT. The trial also included city exploration and mid-boss fights. Parrying timing appears easier than in the previous test, and the finishing move system was a highlight.
Elementa has announced a new closed beta test for its open-world detective action RPG Silver City. The test, called the Dichotomy Test, is a limited-participation, data-deleting beta for PC (Windows). Applications open via a lottery-based questionnaire on the official website until July 17 at 0:59 JST. The beta introduces the long-awaited male protagonist, along with multiple new characters, a new story, and new explorable areas. Combat has been adjusted for smoother and more impactful battles. A new PV titled Black Knights Tango shows the male protagonist using brutal finishers including bone-breaking and groin kicks. Other characters shown include the neutral faction Red Rose, the enigmatic Belinda, the combat-capable Fuu, and a knight with a surprising demeanor. Silver City is set in the Victorian-style metropolis of Sylvania, where players investigate crimes amid conflicts between corporations, underground organizations, royalty, and cults. The game uses Unreal Engine 5 with anime-style visuals and real-time character-switching combat. It is planned for release on consoles, PC, and smartphones, with pricing and date undecided.
