As we previously reported, there is some controversy surrounding Aurora Blade regarding accusations of copying characters and designs from other games. As mentioned in our previous post, IGG responded to us to let us know they have "contacted the Aurora Blade developer to start an investigation on this issue" and that anti-plagiarism is one of IGG's principles.

Well, the closed beta launched this morning, and IGG is hosting numerous events in celebration, such as an adventurer's box give-away, a leveling contest and double exp. More information on the events and their durations can be found here or below.

If you're interested in trying the game out for yourself, you can obtain an activation code for the closed beta here.

Aurora Blade is the first browser-based RPG published by IGG. While not officially open to the public yet, the Aurora Blade Closed Beta test will start at 12:15am on December 5th EST (GMT-5). At that time the first server, called Mercury, will be opened as well. Players can enjoy the fun offered by a special series of events during the test.
