Aurory

Aurory is a game studio that makes PC games about collecting and battling creatures called Amiko. It began on Solana and has two titles. Amiko Arena is a battle game you can play now through the Epic Games Store. Amiko Legends is a Steam game still in development. The studio's token is AURY. Players earn it in Amiko Arena and spend it in Aurory's own item market.

The studio is active. A free demo of Amiko Legends ran on Steam from 7 October 2026 and closed on 2 November 2026. The next step is Early Access, which has no date yet.

How Aurory's games and the AURY token fit together

Aurory runs two games, an item market and a token. You play the games on a PC. The creatures and skins you own can be sold on the Aurory market, and trades there are priced in AURY.

A system that Aurory calls SyncSpace joins the games to the blockchain. Aurory explained it in a 2023 press release about Arbitrum. Your items sit in a game account while you play, so the game does not ask you to sign a transaction for each move. You send items in from a crypto wallet to use them. You pull them back out when you want to hold them in your wallet again.

Since July 2023 that wallet can be on Solana or on Arbitrum, a network built on top of Ethereum. The Aurory portal lets you connect either kind.

The token and the market belong to Amiko Arena today. The Steam game is covered separately below.

Amiko Legends release date, Steam demo and Early Access

Amiko Legends has no release date yet, and you cannot play it right now. Its Steam page says "coming soon". Aurory's announcement post set a goal of Steam Early Access in 2026. Early Access means you can buy and play the game while it is still being built.

Two test rounds have run so far. A closed beta ran on Steam from mid-June to late July 2026, games site eGamers reported. Then a free demo opened to everyone on 7 October 2026. It ran through Steam Next Fest, Valve's week of free demos. Aurory's Next Fest patch notes added jumping, Amiko upgrades and solo challenges, and opened "the beginning of the game" to all new players.

Aurory took the demo offline on 2 November 2026, eGamers reported. The studio said it had "the data and player feedback we needed", and that it did not yet have an Early Access date to share. It plans new biomes, quests and Amiko, plus bug fixes and balance changes. Progress from the demo does not carry over.

The Steam page names Aurory as both maker and publisher. Adding the game to your wishlist is the way to hear when it returns.

What is Amiko Legends? Gameplay, multiplayer and platforms

Amiko Legends is what Aurory calls a "creature collector extraction RPG". You set out on a trip into the wild, charm creatures called Amiko, and fight turn-based battles with your squad. The twist is the rule Aurory gives in its announcement: "only what you extract is yours to keep". Go deeper and the rewards grow. Fail before you get out and you lose them.

An extraction game is one where you enter a dangerous area, grab what you can, and must escape to keep it. Insider Gaming summed the game up as "ARC Raiders meets Pokémon" when the demo opened in October 2026. Amiko you bring out can be levelled up and taken on later runs, which raises your odds next time.

The October demo had solo expeditions and a PvP mode, eGamers reported in a Next Fest preview. Co-op play against the game was still in development. The same report said gamepad and Steam Deck support are planned for after launch.

The Steam page lists Windows as the only platform. No PS5, Xbox, Switch or mobile version has been announced.

Is Amiko Legends a crypto game? AURY, NFTs and Seekers of Tokane

So far, Amiko Legends is sold as a normal Steam game. Its Steam page and website do not mention AURY, NFTs or wallets. eGamers reported that it will be a one-time buy on Steam. No price is set. The AURY features on this page are for Amiko Arena only. Watch for any link to the Steam game at Early Access.

The name has a past that can muddle a search. Aurory's older Solana game was called Seekers of Tokane. It was renamed Amiko Legends on 31 October 2025, PlayToEarn reported. Its creatures went from "Nefties" to "Amikos". Seekers of Tokane was a roguelite on the Epic Games Store that linked to crypto wallets. Older Aurory guides that describe it are about that Epic game, not the one on Steam.

Amiko Arena: PvP squad battles and AURY rewards on Epic Games Store

Amiko Arena is the Aurory game you can play today. You build a squad of three Amiko and fight other players in turn-based battles. The Amiko Arena site sends you to the Epic Games Store, where it is free to play on Windows.

Each Amiko has one of six elements: Fire, Water, Plant, Earth, Wind and Lightning. Because the fights are turn-based, your choice of squad counts for more than quick hands. The game also sets daily PvP challenges with prizes.

Amiko Arena is where the token comes in. Ranked wins earn "Aury Shards", and these set your share of a weekly AURY payout, the game's AURY page says. Two things raise that payout. Owning an Aurorian, one of the studio's 10,000 avatar NFTs, adds 10% to 24%, based on your loyalty tier and how many you hold. A "Collection Score" for the items you own adds a further multiplier.

Eggs, Amiko, skins and Aurorians can all be traded on the Aurory market.

AURY token: supply, staking and where to buy it

AURY is Aurory's token. Its total supply is 100 million, per games research firm Naavik. AURY lives on Solana and has also been usable on Arbitrum since 2023.

AURY has three stated uses. You earn it from ranked play in Amiko Arena. You spend it on the Aurory market. You can also stake it on Aurory's staking page to earn more AURY over time. The AURY page does not state a staking rate.

To get AURY, Aurory points players to a USDC swap inside its own portal. It also names three Solana exchanges: Jupiter JUP$0.241-8.2%, Raydium RAY$1.65-4.9% and Orca ORCA$1.35-11.2%.

AURY went on sale in October 2021, when 7% of the supply was auctioned to the public. Naavik wrote at the time that buyers committed about $108 million in USDC to that sale. The live price, volume and holder data are in the token widget on this page.

Who Aurory is for: Steam players, Arena players and AURY holders

Aurory suits PC players who like collecting creatures and turn-based battles. You also need to be happy to follow a game through test releases. It is a weaker fit if you want a finished game to play today, or a simple way to earn from a game.

If you want Amiko Legends, you are waiting again. The game runs on Windows, the demo closed on 2 November 2026, and the next chance to play is Early Access, which has no date yet.

If you want to play now, Amiko Arena is the option, and it is a competitive PvP game. Rewards depend on ranked wins, so new players should expect to earn little while they learn.

If you hold AURY or an Aurorian from 2021, the token's documented use is Amiko Arena and the marketplace. Whether Amiko Legends adds to that is something to watch for when Early Access opens.

Aurory risks: the 2023 exploit, audits and custody

Aurory's largest reported incident was a hack of its item market in December 2023. The other risks are about timing and custody. The main game is not out, and items you play with are held by Aurory's own systems.

On 17 December 2023 an attacker took about 600,000 AURY, worth close to $830,000 at the time, Decrypt reported. The flaw was in the part of the market that runs on Aurory's own servers. The attacker sent several buy orders at once. The buyer was charged once, but the seller was paid more than once. Aurory said the tokens came from a team wallet and that no player funds or NFTs were taken. It shut SyncSpace down while it fixed the bug.

Security firm OtterSec had audited Aurory before the hack. Its founder, Robert Chen, told Decrypt the bug "was unfortunately out of the scope of our audit". Neither Aurory's site nor the Decrypt report links the audit report, so this page cannot say which programs or which version it covered.

The point for players is about who holds your items. Anything you move into SyncSpace is held by Aurory's own system until you pull it out. Its safety rests on Aurory's servers as well as on the code on the blockchain.

Four more limits are worth knowing:

• Aurory runs its own Solana programs, including AURY staking, NFT staking and a cashier program. We could not confirm who can upgrade them for this page.
• Aurory's docs site, docs.aurory.io, did not resolve when we checked on 4 November 2026. That site held the whitepaper and the token rules, so we could not check them for this page.
• AURY's trading volume is small. In a thin market, a large trade can move the price, so check the live figures in the token widget before you trade.
• Release dates are goals. In 2026 alone, Aurory moved from a closed beta to a demo and back into development.

Aurory team and history: from the 2021 Aurorians mint to Amiko

Aurory began in 2021 with a sale of avatar NFTs called Aurorians. The AURY sale came a month later. Today the studio says it builds worlds "with character" that make you want to explore. Its 2023 press release gave Montreal as its base.

Naavik's report named Yann Penno as co-founder and art director. Aurory's team page shows about 40 people. Several of them, mostly artists, list past work at Ubisoft.
