Halloween may be a terrific time of the year for many to engage in real-world activities like trick-or-treating or dressing up in your scariest costume to date, but many online games have spooky treats awaiting in-game. Annually, players have logged in to join the scares when exploring with their friends and players online as developers made themed cosmetics for them to acquire.
While games like Sea of Thieves, The Elder Scrolls Online, and Apex Legends have highlighted the spooky season with new content and events, could the Halloween season be arriving to Kilima Village this year? We’ve investigated whether Singularity 6 may be bringing Halloween-themed content to Palia.
31st October 2023 Update: This guide reflects the announcement of the 0.170 patch update, which confirms new Halloween-themed content arriving to Palia. The original reporting continues below.
Is There A Palia Halloween Event?
The spooky season is in full gear as multiple popular AAA and indie games are looking to draw in players by hosting some terrifying encounters for them to encounter and rewards to earn. Singularity 6’s MMO, Palia, may not have haunting creatures seen in-game, but by speaking and befriending Eloiusa, you will learn that there are indeed creatures to be afraid of.
And so the golden question of whether Palia will have a limited-time Halloween-themed event does arise, given how successful its first in-game event, the Maji Market, was for the team. As of writing, the developer has not confirmed their next in-game event; however, the v0.170 patch update includes themed content for Halloween.
While the new Halloween content appears to be cosmetic-related; however, this doesn’t rule out the possibility of one being announced soon, as Palia looks to be doing unique variations of real-world celebrations and special occasions. A Halloween event could be a welcoming addition to the game; however, no plans have been teased or announced.

Nevertheless, according to the game’s roadmap plans detailed by Game Director Aidan Karabaich, plenty of content and features are expected to arrive in-game in the coming months. While a themed event was revealed, which was likely the Maji Market event, there may be the potential that the themed event was not the Maji Market.
While this may be pure speculation that a Halloween-themed event for Palia was previously alluded to, Karabaich has stated that there will be “more ways to play together” with more updates and areas coming soon, and the storyline continues to evolve. That being said, we’ll continue to update this page once there’s official confirmation from Singularity 6 with the latest news and updates on a possible Halloween-themed event for Palia.
Palia is currently available in Open Beta for PC, as players can install the game launcher detailed in this guide. The game is slated to release on the Nintendo Switch, releasing Holiday Season 2023.
