The upcoming Elderwood Expansion in Palia is set to go live tomorrow (May 13^th, 2025) at 10 AM (PT). Similar to other content updates, the expansion update will go live after a Downtime. However, the Palia Elderwood Downtime will be the biggest one yet, and it starts today at 8 AM (PT). For the first time, it is a 26-hour-long Downtime, so it is advised that players complete any quests that they have left and tend to the crops. During the Downtime, Palia will be temporarily unavailable on all platforms as the developers set everything up for the Elderwood expansion.

Palia Elderwood Expansion Update and Launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S

Palia’s Elderwood expansion is one of the highly anticipated updates. It is the biggest Palia update yet, and it will include a whole new map zone to explore. Moreover, it will continue the main story of Palia in the new magical zone. Players will meet and befriend new villagers and solve the mysteries of Elderwood. Furthermore, there is a new Relic system that will be introduced with the Elderwood expansion. Players will find several hidden Artifacts that can help them unlock various Relics. Relics provide buffs to players in the party, which tends to improve the overall exploration experience. Last but not least, the Elderwood region includes a bunch of new animals, critters, and fish. For the first time, the animals can attack players, only to slow them down to make the escape. So, players will have to be more strategic in hunting the new animals.

In addition to the Elderwood Expansion, Palia is also making its way to the two biggest platforms, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Tomorrow, when the Downtime completes, Palia will be available to download for free on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Similar to other platforms, Palia allows cross-platform progress and playthrough on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. It means players can join together to unravel the mysteries of Elderwood, despite the platform that they are on.
