Revision 4

Overview

Silver Studio is the game development studio responsible for creating Silver Palace. The studio is headquartered in China, operating out of Shanghai as part of the Happy Elements corporate structure. Silver Palace is their first publicly announced title, as a major push into the action RPG and open-world genre with Unreal Engine 5.

Corporate Structure

Silver Studio operates under the Shanghai division of Happy Elements, which is sometimes referred to by the Elementa branding for global publishing purposes. The relationship between the studio and its parent company follows a pattern common in the Chinese game industry: the parent company (Happy Elements, headquartered in Beijing) maintains specialized development divisions in different cities, each focused on a particular project or genre.

The exact founding date of Silver Studio has not been publicly documented. Whether the studio existed under a different internal name before Silver Palace's announcement or was established specifically for this project remains unclear. What is known is that the team is building Silver Palace from the ground up with Unreal Engine 5, targeting PC, mobile, and console platforms.

Silver Palace Development

Silver Palace was first revealed publicly in May 2025 and entered its first closed beta (the Monotype Beta) in January 2026. The game's production values, including high-fidelity character models, open-world environments, and cinematic cutscenes, suggest a large team with substantial resources. For a deeper look at the project timeline, see Development History.

Technology

The studio chose Unreal Engine 5 as Silver Palace's engine. This choice places Silver Palace alongside a growing number of Chinese-developed action RPGs that have adopted UE5 for its rendering capabilities, open-world streaming tools, and cross-platform support. The Monotype Beta demonstrated high visual fidelity with detailed character models, real-time lighting, and large traversable environments.

Previous Projects

Silver Studio has no known previous releases or publicly documented projects prior to Silver Palace. The studio appears to have been formed or designated specifically for this title. This stands in contrast to sibling studios within the Happy Elements family, such as Cacalia Studio in Kyoto (developers of Ensemble Stars!) which had years of mobile game experience before their breakout hit.
