Aeria Games announced today that Kitsu Saga’s open beta test has officially started. If you were in the closed beta test, then you should be glad to know that Aeria Games has some “unique in-game prizes” in store for you. Aeria Games was vague about the content of the prizes though, guess you’ll just have to play the open beta to find out.

Here’s the full story:

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – October 14, 2010 – The swirling mists surrounding Kitsu Saga(Kitsu Saga Gold) have parted, and the mysterious Kitsu have finally emerged, inviting all gamers to meet them in Open Beta Testing (OBT). Kitsu Saga, the newest free-to-play MMORPG from Aeria Games, has reached the next milestone on its journey, and is now welcoming eager players from all over the world.

With OBT having begun, those dedicated players who participated in the recently concluded Closed Beta will be awarded with unique in-game prizes as thanks for their efforts to stop the Golden Dharma King. These treasures will help players to survive the rigors of training under their faction’s school and become full-fledged warriors, as they seek to defend their realms from evil. Along the way, they will be joined by the Kitsu, a tribe of helpful foxes descended from a holy nine-tailed spirit. Players will be able to bring the Kitsu’s magic into battle, as well as build relationships with them for powerful items and artifacts.
