The Third Silver Palace Beta Test
第三次测试
Elementa has confirmed a third beta test and has already picked its first cohort. What has been announced, and how to check whether you qualified.
Elementa has confirmed a third Silver Palace beta test. Most coverage still files it under rumour,
which it stopped being on July 23, 2026.
The name, the dates and the platforms are all still blank, and so is the question of whether
anyone who missed Dichotomy can sign up. This page records what has actually been published and
gets updated as the rest arrives.
Quick answer
The third beta test is confirmed and unnamed. One group already has access. Dichotomy testers who
completed Experience Survey (I), Experience Survey (II) and any one other survey before August 12,
2026 were invited automatically, and they can check their result now through an Elementa Passport
account. Everyone else is waiting on a recruitment announcement with no date attached to it.
What Elementa has actually said
Two announcements do the work.
On July 23, 2026 the Dichotomy rewards post listed five events. The fifth told testers to complete
the designated survey and automatically obtain access to the third beta test. That wording is not
conditional. It treats the test as a thing that will happen and explains how to be in it.
On August 26 Elementa published a results page. Testers log in to an Elementa Passport account
with the email address they used for Dichotomy, and the page returns their eligibility. The same
post closes by saying that information about the third beta test and its recruitment will be
announced later.
So the test is real and its first cohort is already picked. Nobody outside Elementa knows when it
runs.
How the survey access worked
The surveys arrived in the in-game Mail system as you cleared progress milestones. You needed both
Experience Surveys plus one more, and the window shut a day before the servers did.
| Survey | Unlocked by |
|---|---|
| Experience Survey (I) | Clearing Main Quest Act II, Scene II |
| Experience Survey (II) | Clearing Main Quest Act IV, Scene III |
| In-Depth Survey: Combat | Act IV cleared, plus a set combat challenge |
| In-Depth Survey: Exploration | Act IV cleared, plus 30% exploration in six areas |
The window ran from the start of the test to August 12, 2026 at 10:00 (UTC+8). Testers who
qualified got an in-game notification mail at around 12:00 (UTC+8) the following day.
Elementa ran the same mechanic in January on a lighter requirement, one Experience Survey plus one
In-Depth Survey. It also published the Monotype results as a public list of masked UIDs, updated
daily from January 16 to 19. Dichotomy asked for more surveys and moved the results behind a
private login. Both changes went the same direction. More work per invite, and no public roster of
who received one.
How to check whether you qualified
The in-game notice from the Dichotomy build, stating the survey window and the automatic invite to the third beta test.
If you played Dichotomy and filled in the surveys, the check takes a minute.
- Find the email address registered to your Dichotomy account. Eligibility is bound to that
address, not to your in-game name or UID. - Register or log in to an Elementa Passport account using that exact address.
- Open the Dichotomy Beta Test Survey Event Results Inquiry announcement on the official site and
follow its check link.
A mismatched address returns nothing. Elementa flagged this during Monotype as well, telling
players to double-check that the email on the survey matched the one on the test account, because
inconsistent information made them ineligible.
What the next build changes
Elementa published a feedback response on August 22, 2026. It names four areas of work and reads
like a task list rather than a trailer.
Mobile is the only new platform fact in it. The studio wrote that future tests will introduce a
mobile version. Monotype and Dichotomy were both Windows PC only, so this is the first time a
non-PC client has been attached to a test instead of to launch. The platforms
guide covers where that leaves console and PC.
The rest is repair work. The combat camera and target lock-on lose track of groups and flying
enemies. Buffs and status effects are hard to read mid-fight. A Dialogue History feature is coming
so you can re-read case conversations. The open world gets more interior spaces and better Pegasus
flight, and the whole build needs performance work. Only Dialogue History and the mobile client
are new; everything else is an existing thing being fixed. Our post-Dichotomy roadmap
breakdown goes through the list in full.
That points at a systems test rather than a content reveal, which is the right thing for a third
beta to be. Dichotomy showed that the content lands and the systems around it do not.
When the third beta might run
No date exists. What follows is arithmetic on a single prior cycle, so treat it as a rough
expectation and nothing firmer.
| Event | Date | Gap |
|---|---|---|
| Monotype ended | January 18, 2026 | |
| Dichotomy recruitment opened | June 26, 2026 | 159 days later |
| Dichotomy started | July 23, 2026 | 186 days after Monotype ended |
| Dichotomy ended | August 13, 2026 | |
| Survey results check opened | August 26, 2026 | 13 days later |
Repeat those gaps from the end of Dichotomy and recruitment lands around mid-January 2027, with
the test around mid-February. Recruitment ran 27 days ahead of the test last time, so expect
roughly a month of notice rather than a week.
One thing does not fit. The App Store listing carries an expected release date of January 31,
2027, which cannot be true at the same time as a beta test in February. Apple requires a date on
any listing that takes pre-orders and developers routinely enter a movable placeholder, so the
store date is the likelier of the two to be wrong. The release date page tracks
what each storefront says.
Do not buy access
Search for this test and marketplace listings selling guaranteed access come up. They do not work.
Elementa's recruitment terms state that eligibility applies to a single test and is
non-transferable, and that transferring or selling a test client or account revokes testing
privileges immediately. Access also binds to the device used for the first login, and signing in
from another machine gets the account banned. A purchased account is therefore either bound to the
seller's hardware, where it bans the moment you use it, or it was never eligible to begin with.
The two routes that have ever worked are the official recruitment survey and the in-test feedback
surveys. Elementa also runs community events and Twitch Drops raffles, as it did during Dichotomy.
Nothing else.
The test history so far
Three tests, each roughly doubling the last.
Monotype ran January 13 to 18, 2026 on PC. Five days, seven playable characters, one district, and
the core loop under examination.
Dichotomy ran July 23 to August 13, 2026 on PC. Three weeks, 15 playable characters, a male
Detective option, combat rebuilt around stamina and stun, a structured interrogation interface,
and a much larger Silvernia. Elementa put the build at over 40 hours. The Dichotomy beta
guide covers what was in it, and Monotype vs
Dichotomy is the full side by side.
The third test has no name and no date. On current evidence it adds a mobile client and spends the
rest of its time fixing what Dichotomy exposed.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a third Silver Palace beta test?
Yes. Elementa named it on July 23, 2026, in the Dichotomy rewards announcement, which told testers
to complete the designated survey to automatically obtain access to the third beta test. On August
26 it opened a self-service page where Dichotomy testers can check their eligibility for that
test. The name, the dates and the recruitment method have not been published.
When is the third Silver Palace beta test?
No date has been announced. Elementa says information about the third beta test and its
recruitment will be announced at a later date. The only reference point is the previous gap:
Monotype ended January 18, 2026 and Dichotomy opened July 23, 2026, which is 186 days. That is a
single interval, not a schedule.
How do I check whether I qualified for the third beta test?
Register and log in to an Elementa Passport account using the same email address you used for the
Dichotomy Beta Test, then open the survey results page Elementa published on August 26, 2026.
Eligibility is tied to that email, so an account created with a different address will not show
your result.
What did I have to do during Dichotomy to get in?
Complete Experience Survey (I) and Experience Survey (II), plus any one other survey, before the
window closed on August 12, 2026 at 10:00 (UTC+8). The surveys arrived in the in-game Mail system
after specific main quest and progress milestones. Detectives who qualified during the test
received an in-game notification mail at around 12:00 (UTC+8) the following day.
Can I still get into the third beta test if I missed Dichotomy?
Not through the survey route, which closed with the Dichotomy test. Elementa has not said whether
the third beta test will recruit new applicants, and has not opened a sign-up. Every previous test
also ran a public recruitment survey, so a fresh sign-up is likely, but it has not been confirmed.
Can I buy access to the third beta test?
No. Listings selling guaranteed access are worthless. Elementa states that test eligibility is
non-transferable and that transferring or selling a test client or account immediately revokes
testing privileges. Access is also bound to the device used for the first login, so a purchased
account bans on the first sign-in from your machine.
