Hidden Palace
Hidden Palace is a website dedicated to cataloguing and showcasing early builds of video games.
History
Hidden Palace was initially established as a blog on May 2, 2006. After a period of inactivity, it was re-established as a wiki exactly 10 years later on May 2, 2016.[1]
In March 2021, the website published over 700 early builds of games for the PlayStation 2 as part of an effort dubbed Project Deluge, including Shadow of the Colossus, God of War II and Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex as well as games which were ultimately unreleased.[2][3]
In January 2024, the website published an unfinished version of Spyro: Year of the Dragon featuring several previously unreleased level themes.[4]
