Palia has added regional servers for European players in its new update, which also sees the game arrive on the Epic Games Store.
The latest update adds new features, adjusts the wardrobe, adds more spooky costume options, and more. The most prominent new feature for many players just might be the addition of those European servers. This is the first of many upcoming steps that the team at Singularity 6 plans to take in order to become a multi-region and fully multi-platform game as the team prepares for the Nintendo Switch launch this holiday season. The Epic Games Store availability is part of this too, offering more ways to meet players where they are.
When it comes to servers, the automatic matchmaking system will place you in the best region possible when you log in, Palia is designed to let you play with your friends across regions, If you have friends in another region, you can choose to invite them to your server and override the default matchmaking or even form a party. In general though, when you log in, the matchmaking is intended to put you in the place where you'll have the least latency.
In starting to build out regional servers, info like friends lists and the ability to link up with friends and chat with them is not going to be separated by regions, to make making and keeping friends within Palia easy.
The update also adds three new premium outfit bundles and fixes a number of bugs. The devs promise more in-depth updates are on the way, but this is more about expanding access this time around.

It’s not an official theme or anything, but this week’s TV is all about fighting.

Over on Netflix there’s Blue Eye Samurai, a new show about one woman’s quest for revenge in Edo-era Japan, while on Paramount Plus the new Taylor Sheridan-produced show about Bass Reeves (David Oyelowo) is sure to bring on some Wild West violence. Throw in Love Island Games, and it seems like no matter which platform you turn to, you’re gonna get some clashes.
Publisher CI Games and developer Hexworks released Lords of the Fallen, its soft reboot of the 2014 Lords of the Fallen, earlier this month, on Friday the 13th.

That's because the new Pumpkin Patch update that launches at 2 p.m. PT/5 p.m. ET today comes with reduced enemy density. Plus, the patch brings full crossplay to the game alongside performance and stability fixes and more.

Spider-Man 2 will receive a New Game+ mode as part of a post-launch update, later this year. As per Insomniac Games Community Director James Stevenson, just like the 2018's Marvel's Spider-Man, those looking to replay the title and mop up all the side quests might have to wait a bit, though for now, simply beating it once grants access to an ‘Ultimate' difficulty setting for a fresh playthrough. For the uninitiated, a New Game + mode generally allows players to plunge back into a game's campaign in an overpowered state, as the in-game character carries over all unlocked abilities, tools and weapons, and gear upgrades.
