Silver Palace Anime Expo Gameplay: Cinderella's Rework, Rex's Ultimate and Leaked Gacha Rates

New Silver Palace gameplay from Anime Expo 2026 surfaced on July 5, showing a heavily reworked Cinderella, Rex's ultimate, the Red Rose Dancer, and the female detective ahead of the next beta. It is attendee-captured footage from the roughly 30 minute on-site demo, so the quality is off-screen and rough, but it is the clearest look yet at how far the combat has come since the first Closed Beta Test.

What the Anime Expo demo showed

The demo ran for about 30 minutes per session, and attendees came away impressed. A few things stand out compared to earlier builds:

• A cleaner UI. The bottom-left interface has been redesigned from the version players saw in the first Closed Beta Test. Anyone who played CBT1 will notice it reads better.
• A full boss battle. The footage includes a large boss encounter that holds up well even through a shaky phone camera.
• Polished environments. The Unreal Engine 5 scenes look properly rendered rather than placeholder.

If you want a baseline for how much has changed, the CBT1 review covers what the combat and case systems actually felt like in the first test, and the Anime Expo booth post has the demo, schedule, and gift details for anyone on the show floor.

Cinderella's kit overhaul

Cinderella is the headline. She keeps her gun mechanic, but the footage shows what looks like a near-complete rework of her move set. Based on the demo, and not yet confirmed by the developers, the changes appear to include:

• A new opener built around a clock motif and a ring of fire.
• Two ultimates. She appears to run a second activated mode on top of her standard ultimate, closer to the Burst systems in games like Punishing: Gray Raven or Wuthering Waves than to a single-button ult.
• A melee-first basic string. Her normal attacks now lean on melee combos rather than her gun.
• A design tweak. Her look has been adjusted, including more fiery hair to match the fire theming.

A later preview build's full skill tree confirmed what this was: not two separate ultimates, but her single Ultimate, "Carriage of Conflagration," activating a 12-second "Quenched" state that can then trigger a follow-up "Ultimate-Quenched" chariot explosion. See the Cinderella guide for the full confirmed kit breakdown. Either way, the depth is real: a kit this involved is unusual for a character who may sit on the standard banner, and it lines up with the studio giving standard characters more room to grow inside the story rather than treating them as filler.

For where Cinderella stands today, the Cinderella guide breaks down her element, kit, and teams, and the Cinderella boss fight guide walks through her QTE mechanics.

Rex's red ultimate

Rex also appears in the footage running his ultimate, a red-themed burst that fits the aggressive, high-damage flavor the clip is going for.

Red Rose Dancer and the female detective

The Red Rose Dancer (Rose) is confirmed in the footage as a gun character, which is what most expected from earlier leaks. If you have been following the theories around her, the Red Rose Florian superstar theory collects what fans have pieced together about her identity.

The female detective, the main character, also appears, giving another look at the protagonist in combat alongside that refreshed UI. For a fuller breakdown of her kit and animations, see the female protagonist gameplay PV.

Leaked CBT2 gacha rates

Separate from the gameplay, a set of gacha numbers has leaked. These are unconfirmed and could change before or during the next beta, so read them as leaks rather than final rates:

Each pull reportedly costs 360 gems. The hard part is that none of this can be judged until the pool income is known, meaning how many free pulls players actually earn each patch. The healthy standard for games like this is roughly one new character every one to two patches. On paper the structure resembles Arknights: Endfield more than the Genshin-style model. If you want the current, non-leaked picture, the reroll guide covers whether an opening reroll is worth it.

What it means for the next beta

The bigger takeaway is direction. The first beta's combat was fairly shallow; this footage shows the gun mechanic, parrying, skills, and ultimates working together as a more refined loop. The game is free-to-play, so a large day-one audience is likely regardless of how the gacha shakes out. If the environments and combat in this demo carry into the second beta, it is a strong sign for the build.

If you want to try it yourself, the Dichotomy Beta Test post has the sign-up steps, dates, and PC requirements, and the full character roster is the place to learn the cast first.
