Legends of Aria is nearing a pair of major milestones on its way to the tentative early access launch in April 2018. On December 29th, the crowdfunding campaign will end as Citadel Studios transitions to pre-sale Founder's Packs. Current reward tiers for crowdfunding backers will be gone after that date.
In addition, Citadel also announced that two more events will be held after the first of the year and prior to the proposed April beta launch. Closed Beta 1 is currently dated for January 15th, though that date is subject to change. Players will be working with devs to test out the new UI and further tweaks to combat, mounts and the "Karma" system.
The Closed Beta 2 is slated for March 2018 and will not include any new content, though it will be a time for the community to help devs chase down and squash bugs to add a layer of polish to the game ahead of April's Beta launch.
If you're looking for more information about where the game is headed, you can take part in a special developer round table on December 23rd at 10:00 am Pacific / 1:00 pm Eastern in the LoA Twitch channel.
