Turf Battles, often referred to as TB, is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). It is IMAZIC's first released game first introduced in 2002. Turf Battles takes place within the world of Fomalhaut, years after a major war. Originally published under HyperEngines LLC, the open beta was announced around September 2005. Due to many technical issues, the game ultimately failed, and Hyper Engines LLC closed its operations mid-2008, but due to popular player support, the title was picked up for the American audience by Aeria Games and Entertainment, who announced Turf Battles in December 2008. After three closed betas, Turf Battles has gone into a final Beta Stress Test, which moved into an open beta. Aeria Games closed down the Turf Battles servers in June 2010, citing several technical issues that continued during the development.

In 2014, Eonic Games, a MMORPG development company, re-released the title as a complete rebuild based on the original HyperEngine LLC system, including the Island PK system. The new release proceeded out of open beta and is currently undergoing what they call, "Seasons", by testing out new improvements, items, nerf, etc. and implementing what was well received into the game; seasons last 3 months at a time and undergo roughly 1-month break in between seasons.
