Aeria Games, formerly known as Aeria Games and Entertainment, was an online game publisher. The corporate headquarters were in Berlin, Germany.[2]

Aeria Games was a privately-owned organization by Aeria Games & Entertainment Inc, later a subsidiary of ProSiebenSat.1 Media,[3] and later of Gamigo, which operated an Internet gaming portal for massively multiplayer online games. It focused on online games in multiple formats, client games, browser games, and mobile games. It published games for North America, South America and Europe.

History[edit]

Aeria Games was founded in Santa Clara, California, as Aeria Games & Entertainment. Two years later they opened their first international office in Berlin, Germany, which later became the company's headquarters.[4] On January 5, the company acquired ijji, 2012.[5]

The company also merged with Gamepot in late 2012.[6]

In February 2014, all its worldwide PC games business including its subsidiary Aeria Games Europe GmbH were sold to ProSiebenSat.1 Media.[7] In May 2016, Aeria Games merged with Gamigo and let go 100 of their formerly 260 employees in Berlin.[8]

In February 2023, the gaming portal was closed down after its remaining games were transferred to other publishing companies.

Its games were free-to-play and used a micropayment system to generate revenue (in-game item malls and advertising).

Community[edit]

As of July 2012, after the acquisition of Ijji the community had over 40 million registered members.[9]

Portal Closure[edit]

On December 20, 2022, Aeria Games announced the transfer of all its current games (Aura Kingdom, Grand Fantasia and Shaiya) to other publishers. The publishing company additionally released information that the Aeria Games portal would be closing down in February of 2023.[10]

Gamigo, the parent company of Aeria Games, subsequently confirmed on February 22, 2023, that the Aeria Games portal would be closing down on February 28, 2023.[10]
