Some of you might be surprised that we're adding this kind of experience, and we totally understand that. We've always envisioned Echo Expeditions from the start of making Talia,

[00:43] so much so that we've held back some marquee story elements tied to this feature for years. We're finally able to start unveiling and exploring those narrative threads. To be extra clear, Echo Expeditions is fully cooperative.

[00:56] There's no player versus player in any capacity. With that said, we've prioritized making sure that you can progress in it through other activities in Palia, such as gathering in the adventure zones, crafting, and maybe even your relationships with villagers.

[01:10] Echo Expeditions are another step in our goal to push Palia forward through new ideas, features, and mechanics. We're planning to launch the feature this holiday season alongside Palia's enhanced Nintendo Switch 2 edition.

[01:22] We'll have some more information on this feature soon, so until next time, see you later. you
