Silver Palace, a Victorian open-world action role-playing game from Silver Studios and publisher Elementa Games, is scheduled to launch Dec. 14, 2026. UnGeek previewed the game through a hands-on demo at gamescom asia x Thailand Game Show 2026, covering its opening sequence, early story sections and combat systems.

A demo built around the opening chapters

The playable segment began with the game's opening sequence and introductory exposition before moving into an early portion of the main story. UnGeek described the setting as a version of Victorian London expanded with airships, unusual weapons and fantasy enemies. The preview also highlighted the game's character designs, clothing, weapons, bosses and open-world environments as major parts of the presentation.

Silver Palace uses a four-person team that can be changed during play. The combat systems shown in the demo included normal attacks, signature skills, burst attacks, parries and dodges. The preview also identified lock-on controls and executions as important parts of encounters, alongside the standard offensive and defensive actions.

  • Developer: Silver Studios
  • Publisher: Elementa Games
  • Release date: Dec. 14, 2026
  • Genre: Victorian open-world action role-playing game

Combat and team switching

According to UnGeek's hands-on account, the demo moved into combat shortly after a cinematic sequence. Players could switch between members of a four-person team, using each character's regular attacks and special abilities while combining movement and defensive timing. Parrying, dodging and executions were presented as central actions in the battles shown during the preview.

The outlet said the demo offered only an early look at how the complete game will play. Its session included the beginning of the story and a limited portion of the larger world rather than the full campaign. The preview nevertheless covered the game's intended mixture of exploration, party-based combat and a fantasy interpretation of the Victorian setting.

A December release

Silver Palace is set to release on Dec. 14, 2026. Silver Studios developed the game and Elementa Games is publishing it. UnGeek's preview was based on the convention demo, which showed the opening material and early gameplay rather than a final review build.
