The game was officially announced on October 22, 2010.[4] Katauri Interactive director Dmitry Gusarov hinted that Royal Quest might be more action-oriented than a traditional MMORPG, stating that "the present MMORPG market is full of projects with massive world distances and unhurried battles. We consider Royal Quest a nice adrenaline injection to the market and it will allow players to act as real heroes".[5]
The game takes place on the fictional planet of Aura, where wizardry, alchemy, steampunk, and futuristic technologies coexist.[6] Players choose one of four classes (Warrior, Archer, Mage, Rogue) and enter the service of King Roland, the ruler of the kingdom of Elenia, who is waging war against the mysterious Black Alchemists — humanoid creatures who arrived on Aura from another world in pursuit of "highly rare and precious Elenium mineral with its many unique features".[3]
