Aeria Games Reaches 10 Million Users

Online game publisher Aeria Games & Entertainment (a subsidiary of Japanese company Aeria) says its player community has surpassed 10 million registered members, a milestone that the company says comes at the end of record year in terms of launches, userbase, revenue, and website traffic.

Launched in 2006, Aeria publishes a wide range of free-to-play massively multiplayer online titles, from martial arts games and racers to casual titles and first-person shooters. Its portal currently offers 16 titles, and recently expanded its portfolio to include browser-based games and releases available in multiple languages (Spanish, French, German, and Turkish).

Aeria's catalog includes games such as Shaiya, Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine Online, Project Torque, LaTale, Turf Battles, Last Chaos, and Hello Kitty Online. The Santa Clara-based publisher most recently launched anime-inspired fantasy MMO Grand Fantasia. It plans to unveil several more titles for its portal later this year.

"Our player community has been the primary driving force behind our growth," says Aeria Games's chief operating officer JT Nguyen. "No other MMO portal has such a robust, active, and loyal fan base, and we have every intention of showing our fans our gratitude by running generous promotions and events in the coming weeks."
