Palians Can Now Create the Ranch Life of Their Dreams, Raising Animals, Building New Friendships and Furnishing Their Homes with New Country Decor to Boot! 

Fall is right around the corner! As summer comes to a close and cozy season knocks on the door, Palia is offering fans a hearth-load of new content in the Of Barns & Briars update. This update kicks off Palia’s new seasonal update cadence, starting with autumn’s Fall Fantasy series of updates. Palians can now look forward to larger updates tied to real world seasons, with the next updates coinciding with winter and so forth. Of Barns & Briars introduces significant gameplay additions, including the highly requested Ranching skill, allowing players to breed and raise their very own livestock. Players can also look for some new ways to shake up their housing plots with the introduction of Home Lines, adding modular, placeable housing customization options for Palians to explore.

Kick up your boots and check out the official Of Barns & Briars Update Launch trailer:

Here’s everything players can expect in the Of Barns & Briars Update:

• Ranching Skill – Players will be able to raise magical livestock, including the chicken-esque Peki, Ormuu, Bumbles and a wooly pig called a Trufflet, starting from infancy to adulthood with the new Ranching skill. As animals grow, they can develop traits that get passed down to offspring, creating unique companions.
• Rancher’s Decor – Complete the County Fair Quests to receive the Rancher’s Decor Recipe Starter Pack, and decor items like barn doors, hay stacks and barrels of apples, available only through the County Fair Bulletin Board during the Of Barns & Briars Update.
• New Home Line Capabilities – Home Lines are a major evolution of Palia’s housing system, designed to give players more flexibility and creative control in building their dream homes, with features like Multi-Level Building, Open-Air Patios and more. This season, Palia is also introducing its first Home Line, the Alchemist’s Cottage, and it’s brimming with spooky fairytale charm, making it the perfect place to get cozy for the autumn season.
• Gardener Questline – A brand new friendship opportunity is now available for players in Palia. The Gardener, a long time occupant of the Earth Temple, is stepping beyond the temple doors and opening their heart to friendship. 
• Daily Quests – The update introduces more than 200 rotating daily quests to Palia, each themed around helping the in-game community. Every day, players will receive two randomly selected quests. Completing quests will earn Tailor Tickets, which can be exchanged for earnable cosmetics such as new colors for hair and makeup.
• New Plushes – Players can look forward to new plushes, including the Duskwing Butterfly Plush and XL Shark Fin Plush. Palians can also dig into 10 brand-new Shiny Potato Pods.
