Hello, Pioneers!

A letter has arrived from the Watchtower of Hope, carrying an invitation to all Pioneers.

The path to Auroria is about to open, and a new chapter is waiting to unfold.

November 3, 2026 — The way to Auroria opens at last.

Dear Pioneer,

I write to you from the Watchtower of Hope, overlooking a distant shore of Auroria.

Once known only through legend, this land now awaits those who would claim it as their own, its shores scattered with crumbling ruins and filled with countless opportunities.

From adventurers in search of the ruins of the Gyldenlord to recluses who read the stars by night, people carrying dreams of their own are crossing the waves to reach these very shores.

Yet danger lurks. The Dark Blades prey upon the trade routes, and troubling reports continue to reach us of strange rifts opening across the continent.

Still, much of Auroria remains uncharted, and it falls to you to fill the blank spaces upon the maps. To build a home upon untamed soil, to guide a wagon laden with trade goods, and to spread your glider's wings and venture beyond cliffs unknown… Such is the life of a pioneer.


On the third day of November, in the year 2026, the sea passage to Auroria shall at last be opened.

Your journey draws near. You may now download the game and prepare for the voyage ahead.


May Nui's blessing ever be upon you.

— From the Watchtower of Hope
