**Aura Kingdom** is an MMORPG developed by X-Legend and currently published by Aeria Games in English, French, German, and Spanish. A Portuguese service also formerly existed but merged with the Spanish server. It is the western version of Fantasy Frontier, which was first published in Taiwan in June 2013.

## History

### Beta testing for English and French versions

On August 12, 2013, two months after the launch of the original Taiwanese version, Aeria Games announced their intention to publish *Aura Kingdom* for the West. Founders' beta began on December 16, 2013, and was open only to players who had purchased founders' packs.

On December 23, 2013, *Aura Kingdom* transitioned to a closed beta testing stage, in which players who obtained raffled closed beta keys were also allowed to join the game, in addition to those who had purchased founder's packs. On December 31, the game transitioned to a stress test stage, designed to test server load limits by allowing all players into the beta test without requiring closed beta keys.

The stress test ended on January 4, 2014, character progress was wiped, and the game officially launched into open beta on January 6.

### Beta testing for the German version

Aeria Games announced the publishing of a German version of *Aura Kingdom* on May 15, 2014. Founders' packs were sold beginning June 11, and the game began with a stress test between June 19–22. On June 24, the German version of *Aura Kingdom* launched into open beta.

### Beta testing for Spanish and Portuguese versions

On September 8, 2014, Aeria Games announced the publishing of Spanish and Portuguese versions.

For the Portuguese service, founders' packs began selling on October 30, followed by a three-day-long closed beta test which began on November 6. The open beta officially launched on November 11.

For the Spanish service, founders' packs began selling on November 14, followed by a closed beta on November 21–24, and open beta launched on November 26, 2014.

### End of service in Portuguese

*Aura Kingdom*'s Portuguese server, which had launched concurrently with the Spanish server, was merged with the Spanish server on September 22, 2015. The newly-merged server was available only in Spanish, and players on the former Portuguese server were required to download the Spanish client.

### Transfer of operations to X-Legend

On December 20, 2022, Aeria Games announced that the publishing of *Aura Kingdom*, in all four languages, would be transferred to X-Legend.
