Elementa is a Singapore publisher founded in 2020 with offices in Japan and South Korea. Development is handled by Silver Studio. The game was announced on 13 May 2025, and pre-registration opened the same day.
The story: Silvernia and the Detective’s return
The game is set in Silvernia, a metropolis inspired by Victorian Britain. Think steampunk with fairy-tale touches, powered by a substance called Silverium. Corporations, the underworld, the royal nobility and cults all fight over it.
You play the Detective, a once-famous investigator who returns to Silvernia and reopens their agency in the third year of Queen Feliana’s reign. The official website lists two versions of the lead with the titles “The Raven’s Claws” and “The Raven’s Beak”. The Detective is rational and searches for the truth about the death of someone close. Since the Dichotomy beta you can choose a male or female Detective at the start.
Characters from fairy tales and fables step into the story. The publisher describes classic characters stepping out of the pages. Every announced face is listed in our guide to Silver Palace characters.
How it plays, according to official information
Investigations
Solving cases is the core: you look for clues, untangle contradictions, deduce and reconstruct what happened. In July 2026 Elementa introduced “Curious Deductions”, deduction quests with multiple endings. Restart Deduction takes you back to the Evidence Board so you can chase a different ending. The Revealer Light is another detective tool in the story, and the developer wants to use it more. Our deduction guide goes deeper.
Combat
Combat is real time. According to official information you control a party, switch characters mid-fight, combine their skills and trigger joint attacks. In the beta, melee and third-person shooting could be chained into combos. The details are in our combat system article. A multiplayer combat mode called “House of Greed” is in development. It was shown at gamescom 2026, but the publisher has not said whether or when it will be in the game.
Open world
According to the publisher, Silvernia has city districts, interiors, a day and night cycle and weather. In the beta you could ride the Silverium Steed horse and drift with it, glide on air currents and, in an older build, use a grappling hook. The Dichotomy beta added horse races through the city.
Release date and platforms
The worldwide release is 14 December 2026. The publisher gives the date in UTC+8 and has not announced an exact launch time for PC and mobile. On PS5 the PlayStation Store lists 03:00 UTC (04:00 CET). The full picture is in our release date guide.
