Legends of Aria Launches on Steam December 4th

Citadel Studios is celebrating the milestone with an ASUS GTX 1080 Giveaway!

Washington DC – October 4th, 2018 | Today, Citadel Studios is proud to announce that its flagship sandbox MMORPG Legends of Aria will be coming to Steam Early Access on December 4th, 2018. The wait is finally over, and the world of Aria is almost ready to be explored by all. All those who pre-order the game between now and December 3rd will be able to take part in the 7-Day Head Start and obtain all of the other Founder’s Packs bonuses, including the chance to lay claim to their own plots of land and build their homes before anyone else.

“It’s hard to believe it’s been four years since we began this journey,” said Citadel Studios Founder Derek Brinkmann. “So much has changed since then. We’ve gone from making a smaller scale online RPG to making the large-scale full-on sandbox MMORPG we’ve been dying to play since Ultima Online, Dark Age of Camelot, and EverQuest first made us all believers in the genre years ago. We’ve got even more content and additions planned for the future of Aria, but we’re just excited to finally open the doors and see what the players will do in our world this December.”

Legends of Aria is the spiritual successor to classic MMORPGs – a massive, player-run world in a modern and beautifully realized setting. It’s a return to the sort of game where player choice and freedom is paramount, where hand-holding and gear scores have no place.

Take a look at the Steam Launch Trailer revealed today. It highlights some of the many different roles a player can take on during their time in Aria:

Discover a world forged by players, where your choices write the story. What role will you play?
