Silver Palace EN Opens "Dichotomy" Beta Test Sign-Ups
Beta Test Start Date to Follow
Silver Palace announces that sign-ups for their "Dichotomy" Beta Test are now ongoing. Registration will be open until July 16, 2026, 8:59 AM PT / 11:59 AM ET. Interested players can visit the game's official website and register their interest through a questionnaire.
It will be a limited, small-scale beta test with data wipe and no in-game purchases. Those selected for the beta test will be contacted through the registered email. Afterwards, they must confirm their qualification status through the "Check Test Access" function on the official site. Alternatively, those who already have had access to the first "Monotype" Beta Test and have been granted access through the survey may head to the site to confirm their eligibility.
As the largest playable update to date, the Dichotomy Beta Test makes way for the male protagonist, as well as a new cast of characters, new previously unexplored areas, and new activities and systems to discover.
Further details, such when the beta test will start, have yet to be announced.

New Trailer, Black Knights Tango
The reveal was also accompanied by a new cinematic trailer titled "Black Knights' Tango". Notably, this trailer features the male version of the MC, who has been absent in previous teasers thus far. There seems to be trouble brewing in the city of Silvernia, where a prototype called the Augurian Reactor has gone missing. As decisive evidence in a royal air crash incident presumably years prior, it may as well be one of the catalysts in the game's story. The MC, a survivor of said air crash, makes his return to the city and opens up a detective agency.
The trailer shows him speaking to a certain Miss Bentham, who allegedly is keeping the said Reactor hidden away. Presumably offended with the heavy accusation, he is then surrounded by armed guards. But with the help of his allies, they manage to fend off the attackers and take them down, allowing him to square off with the Lady Bentham herself. He then makes use of a mysterious power that keeps her and her guards suspended in mid-air, a break in their defenses. However, just when he believes he has the upper hand, the quick-witted antagonist takes away the source of his power, a large glowing gem embedded on his back, before disappearing into the night.
This mystery sets the stage for a deeper storyline to follow, suggesting that this will be the main point of the Dichotomy Beta Test run.
