About ICARUS

ICARUS is a session-based PvE survival game supporting up to eight co-op players, set on a hostile alien world that stands as humanity's greatest mistake. You endure a savage wilderness as you explore, harvest, craft, and hunt, all while chasing your fortune on a planet that never stops trying to wear you down or tear you apart.

The game's structure is distinctive. From an orbital station, prospectors drop to the surface for limited-time sessions, where they learn to survive the alien environment, complete faction missions, and search for valuable exotic materials. Those who make it back to orbit return as seasoned veterans, converting their exotics into advanced technology and taking on ever more challenging drops with the knowledge they've gained, while those left behind are lost for good.

A rich backstory frames the danger. Icarus was meant to become a second Earth until terraforming collapsed, the air turned toxic, and colonization dreams died, leaving the planet a symbol of humanity's overreach. When xeno-biologists later traced the failure to exotic matter, its enormous value sparked a gold rush that brought prospectors flocking back. From its toxic atmosphere to its savage wildlife and game-altering weather events, this action-adventure survival title on PC pits your preparation and planning against a planet with a genuine temper.
