About the Game
ICARUS is a PvE survival game with both Mission-based and persistent Open World modes for up to eight co-op players.
Endure a savage wilderness on Icarus, an Earth-like terraformed planet now considered humanity’s greatest mistake. From their orbital station, prospectors drop to the planet surface to explore, harvest, craft and hunt while seeking their fortune.
Confront and conquer a brutal PvE world determined to wear you down
From toxic atmosphere to savage wildlife, apex predators to destructive storms and forest fires, Icarus is a planet with a temper. Preparation and planning are everything, whether it’s to find a source of oxygen, stalk your next meal or stockpile supplies for a long journey into the wilderness.
Go at it alone, invite up to 8 Steam friends to join your game or play on dedicated servers.
Immerse yourself in a deceptively familiar, yet formidable, world
The First Cohort of prospectors has been granted initial mining licenses for over 64 square kilometers of hand-crafted terrain, full of hidden caves and biomes to explore. Every single tree is harvestable, every rock can be voxel mined, every creature can be hunted. Tame and ride mounts, craft advanced tech to extract resources faster and prepare yourself for harsher challenges.
Master three separate tech trees: planetary tech, player talents and the orbital workshop
Unlock four tiers of technology from hand-crafted to advanced composites and electronics, plus 8+ different building materials.
Choose from over 100 talents as you specialize your character in exploring, building, farming, hunting, taming, fighting and more.
Return to the orbital workshop to exchange exotic matter for advanced tech and items with unique properties, which may give you an advantage on your next drop.
Three Game Modes: Open World, limited-time Missions, or creative Outposts
However you want to experience Icarus, you can.
Forge your claim in Open World, battling the elements and apex predators for survival and testing the limits of your survival instincts.
Accept timed Missions to mine exotics and earn Ren as you complete tasks for the power brokers overseeing the planet. Drop down to the planet with nothing, establish a base from scratch and escape in time.
Let your creative mind run wild in the Outpost regions with regenerating resources and safe environments.
About the world of Icarus
Icarus was once destined to be a second Earth, but when terraforming collapsed - the air turned toxic and humanity’s hopes of colonizing a new world died. Icarus became a joke, a symbol of humanity reaching for the stars and failing. The xeno-engineers salvaged what they could, released modified embryos and halted the terraforming process.
Yet when they discovered the cause of the failure - exotic matter - new interest was ignited. Valuable beyond reckoning, these ‘exotics’ sparked a gold rush and fueled political tensions back on Earth.
Prospectors flocked to Icarus to complete contracts to extract exotics and conduct research for various factions. Those that survive return to orbit as seasoned veterans, converting their exotics into advanced technology, and taking on ever more challenging drops. Those that get left behind... are lost forever.

ICARUS is being made by a team of survival game veterans at RocketWerkz in beautiful Auckland, New Zealand.

Build 23795541
Jun 18, 2026
Welcome to Week 237.
This week, we are expanding the Norex Trader inventory to provide access to boss vestiges that are not normally available on all maps. We are also making a few balance adjustments to the Sandwyrm Queen and its associated items.
In addition, we're including a preview of next week's update, which will introduce a new addition to the planetary crafted backpack lineup.
This week, we're expanding the Norex Trader's inventory. The trader will now sell Vestiges from all World Bosses in exchange for Biomass. This will allow players to craft any recipes or trophies (once unlocked) that require these items, even on prospects that do not feature those bosses.
This is part of our ongoing effort to ensure that newer content remains accessible across older areas of the game. It's important to us that we continue supporting existing maps and content rather than leaving them behind as the game evolves.
As a reminder, the Norex Trader is unlocked in an Open World region by completing the associated mission. Once the mission is complete, the trader will permanently establish a camp in that region and become available as a merchant.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38036764/feb22e0fff41ebcf705085bcf57bddd30d403eb6.png
This week, the Sandworm now drops a second resource item: the Sandwyrm Wing Fragment. Like the other World Bosses, both of the Sandworm's resource drops can be processed into Biomass using the Organic Residue Cleaner.
This change brings the Sandworm's rewards more in line with our other World Boss encounters, providing additional opportunities to collect Biomass and making the boss a more consistent source of valuable resources. As part of this update, several recipes that require Sandworm Queen materials have been adjusted to account for the addition of the new drop.
The Sandwyrm Wing Fragment is also laying the groundwork for future content. We have additional Sandworm Queen-related items, recipes, and uses coming in future.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38036764/e1ec9e29364da22a23f482475fa692d1dabaada7.png
Next week, we're adding the Cured Leather Backpack to Tier 3. Designed as a step up from the Tier 2 Leather Backpack, it provides players with an upgraded on-planet backpack option without requiring a Workshop purchase.

Welcome to Week 236.
This week introduces Ubis breeding, allowing Prospectors to establish their own breeding populations of these iconic swamp birds.
Looking ahead, next week's expansion of the Norex Trader will provide new ways to access world boss rewards across more maps.
This week, we're expanding the possibilities of ranching on Icarus with the addition of breedable Ubis.
These towering swamp birds have long roamed the wetlands of Icarus, and while juvenile Ubis could already be collected and raised, Prospectors can now breed them as part of their husbandry operations. This new addition opens up more opportunities to grow your flock, experiment with breeding outcomes, and work toward collecting every available variation.
To get started, you'll need to craft a new Ubis Serum at the Ranching Station. Once crafted, you'll be able to begin establishing your own breeding population and continue expanding your collection.
As a reminder, Ubis feature 7 distinct Phenotype variations for you to discover, collect, and breed, giving Prospectors plenty of reasons to keep experimenting with different combinations and outcomes.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38036764/99c6c5e8db9d076294b43022ebc9668a35b56ef1.png
Next week we are expanding the Norex NPC Trader adding Boss Vestiges of all world bosses to be purchased allowing the unique items that can be crafted with them available on all maps that the specific bosses are not present.

Build 23562395
Jun 5, 2026
Welcome to Week 235.
This week, we're expanding access to Obsidian by adding Deep Ore Veins to Olympus, Styx, and Elysium. This makes the resource readily available across all maps and gives prospectors more opportunities to gather it, regardless of where they choose to play.
We're also introducing the Deep Cycler, a new Tier 5 device that allows players to reconfigure Deep Ore Veins. This provides greater flexibility when managing deep mining operations and opens up new options for resource acquisition.
Looking ahead, we're giving a sneak peek at next week's update, which introduces Ubis Phenotypes and Breeding.
Crafted at the Manufacturer and powered by Refined Oil, the Deep Cycler can be placed anywhere on the terrain to reconfigure nearby Deep Ore Veins into a different available resource. Veins with drills attached are excluded, and all affected veins are shown in the UI before activation. Like the Thumper, activating the Deep Cycler attracts Caveworms and Landsharks, requiring players to defend the device while the process is underway. If the device is damaged, it will shut down. Once complete, all eligible Deep Ore Veins within range will have been successfully reconfigured.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38036764/0f04fe7108c30e0f108f2e848e62f0ad4605cff3.png
The primary reason for introducing this item is to give players a way to reconfigure Deep Ore Veins on existing prospects. As Icarus has evolved, we've continued to add new resources that can be found in Deep Ore Veins - such as Obsidian, introduced this week. However, prospects created before these resources were added do not naturally generate the new vein types.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38036764/2c0e9e85b69a3dea48ef6d0f6725451de9874b40.png
Previously, the only way to make these new resources available on existing prospects would have been for us to forcibly regenerate or alter Deep Ore Veins. Instead, we wanted to provide players with an opt-in solution that gives them control over when and how their prospects are updated. The Deep Cycler achieves this while also creating a new gameplay challenge around defending the device during operation.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38036764/f2d4c6b0c306f8bc4d656307d6822fd4f9e78324.png
This week, Obsidian Deep Ore Veins will begin appearing on all prospects and outposts. On newly created worlds, these veins will spawn naturally across the map. Existing prospects will require use of the new Deep Cycler to generate them. This brings the new resource to existing maps and provides an easy way to access its associated technologies.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38036764/d8468122d8ac3d3e0c30dec577f141562461162b.png
Next week, we plan to make Ubis, the large birds found in swamps, breedable with opposite-sex partners. Alongside this change, we'll be introducing several new phenotypes to bring greater diversity to the species and their offspring.

- Resource Network Inspector UI has been adjusted so that text shouldn't overlap on certain languages
- Lots of texture optimization, roughly around 500MB

Build 23407623
May 29, 2026
Welcome to Week 234.
This week’s patch adds new Interior Wood flooring pieces, expanding your options for building and decorating indoor spaces. These pieces are designed to fit smoothly with existing assets for more variety and flexibility in layouts.
We’re also introducing curved railings that snap to these new floors, as well as other compatible curved floor pieces. This makes it easier to create clean, rounded walkways, balconies, and stair areas.
We also have a quick preview of next week in which we will be releasing a new item, the Deep Cycler, and Obsidian Deep Ore Deposits on all maps.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38036764/42c7d8299486ebfa71c003c2f1491b7d19e096f3.png
This week we have expanded our curved building piece options by adding the highly requested Interior Wood version. The new piece is available via the Interior Wood Building Advanced Set which is unlocked behind the Carpentry Bench in Tier 2. This also unlocks two variations of the same piece with the grain in different directions so you can make the perfect flooring
Let us know what other pieces you would like to see next.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38036764/f93a2d4439c335ca5b6ec4951301adc01d8dd236.jpg
In addition to the new curved Interior Wood pieces, we also saw the need for adding in curved railings to go with all of the new curved pieces that are now available. These snap to the curved floor pieces and there are seven new curved railing options now available for you to use and they're available as variations for the existing Railing items.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38036764/860e059bb0f46cdc22f19ab312f565a2c43b56ec.jpg
Next week we plan on adding Obsidian Deep Ore Deposits to Olympus, Styx and Elysium allowing them to spawn. We are also adding a brand new T5 device that will allow you to trigger a reconfiguration of your deep ore deposits within a localized area, allowing them to effectively change type.

Build 23318460
May 22, 2026
Welcome to Week 233.
This week marks the launch of the Timber Extraction Unit, a brand-new Legendary item purchasable from the Biolab. Designed for high-efficiency harvesting, this powerful tool can rapidly decimate forests while also doubling as a dangerous weapon, launching spinning saw blades at unsuspecting creatures.
Elysium has also received a small map update in preparation for future content, with a new structure now appearing in the Western Volcanic Region.
We’re also giving a small preview of what’s arriving next week: interior wood curved floors and curved railings, expanding building customization options even further.
This week brings a brand new Legendary item, the Timber Extraction Unit, a fully customizable circular saw with 12 unique alterations to select from to upgrade the Motor, Handle, Blade and Drive sections. This allows it to be specialized into making wood collection a breeze and to become a formidable weapon against your enemies.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38036764/0a268b5c41515ae211909393e0e9f5ca958fba8f.png
Powered by Refined Oil, the TEU is capable of ripping entire forests to shreds in minutes. Upgrades such as the 'Refined Drive' will automatically award you with Refined Wood, or the 'Skinning Motor' allows for the skinning of creatures, or the 'Serrated Blade' causing increased hardpoint damage and applying Bleed, or the 'Expanded Motor' automatically picking up chopped wood to allow you to repurpose those critical character talent points. There's a nice variety of useful upgrades to customize the TEU to be your own.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38036764/c00a629b803a6c7d38b27e6682a83e60f13e702a.png
While originally we had it as an optional upgrade, we decided the ability to fire the saw blades as projectiles was too fun to not make it a default function of the item. The TEU doesn't come with a Sawblade built in, they can be crafted on planet with just a handful of Iron Ingots, or for those who really want to hit the ground running, a Sawblade Workshop Bundle is available for purchase and immediate use. The TEU is available for purchase in the Bio-lab and requires 1x Legendary Licence.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38036764/fb368c6c16bb70557d319e63d10d6b4eed0fbeb5.png
This week in the Western Volcanic Region, a new area has been sealed off. Previously marked as unbuildable terrain, the location is now blocked by a newly appeared structure, preventing further access.
This change is tied to future content planned for the Elysium map. At the moment, the area has no interactions or gameplay functionality.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38036764/425b9d0c46f22aadaf67f9b1a6eda17d168cbde1.png
Next week we are planning on adding an addition to the interior wood set - the curved floor pieces. As well as new curved wood railing which will snap to all curved floor pieces.

Build 23190964
May 14, 2026
Last week, we said we would be releasing a new legendary item this week - the Timber Extraction Unit. While testing it, we decided to make some additional changes to improve how it feels and to properly integrate it into Icarus. As a result, we’ve decided to push the release back to next week instead.
Welcome to Week 232.
This week, we’re introducing Gribbler Husbandry, a new system that expands how Gribblers can be raised and developed. This includes a juvenile Gribbler form, along with serums that enable and support the husbandry process, opening up new ways to influence growth and progression.
We’re also taking a quick look at the Timber Extraction Unit, a new feature slated for release next week. This item is designed to improve resource gathering efficiency, and we’ll be sharing more details as its launch approaches.
Notable Improvements:
- Rams now grow wool and can be shorn
- UI Scale Adjustments for Elements that where too small
- Optimization of textures, LODs and Gfur on Animal Beds and Rugs
- Fixed Laser Sidearm and Heavy Flamethrower alternate fire not producing fire sound effects
- Fixed to new Field guide layout and item display
- Fixes to Blinkys eyes and skeleton so the fish can swim and blink correctly
This Week: Gribbler Husbandry
This week we’re expanding our ever-growing husbandry content once again. With a face only a mother could love, we’re proud to announce that juvenile Gribblers have officially arrived on Icarus.
These quirky little creatures can now be raised as part of your ranching operations, bringing even more variety to your creature collection and husbandry setups. Whether you find them adorable or deeply unsettling, there’s no denying that Gribblers are one of the more unique additions to the surface of Icarus.
To help you get started, a new Gribbler Serum item is now available to craft at the Ranching Station. Once crafted, you’ll be able to begin collecting and raising your own juvenile Gribblers as you work toward completing your collection.
As a reminder, Gribblers already feature 8 distinct Phenotype variations for you to discover, collect, and breed, giving Prospectors plenty of reasons to keep experimenting with different outcomes.

May 8, 2026
Welcome to Week 231.
This week brings four new unique fish subspecies to Icarus - one per map, plus a rare catch found only in the Mushroom Swamp on Elysium.
We have also performed a decent amount of texture and LOD optimizations on knives, guns, bows, spears ammo and fish to save more memory while playing.
We’re also teasing next week’s update with a brand-new legendary item you may have seen marked “coming soon” in the Biolab: the Timber Extraction Unit.
Back in week 229's update, we sort of snuck in a pretty substantial memory optimization (saving around 1.5GB) effort, and with more texture optimizations coming through this week (at around another 0.5GB) we wanted to raise awareness around this and what it means for players. Ideally, this type of optimization should actually go unnoticed by players, in the sense that the quality of the object remains as good as it was, while at the same time taking up less memory. This allows for better accessibility on machines with lower end hardware, gives shorter load times, less visual glitches (when textures fail to load, etc), less pressure on the engine's streaming systems, and so on.
We have some custom tooling which we use to find items that we may have been a little too generous with when it comes to texture sizes, but its still a rather manual process that requires individual checking which slows things down a bit. In general, memory optimization is one of those things that we need to continually stay on top of, as Icarus is an ever-growing project and with the amount of content that it contains in 2026 compared to 2021, our memory budget continues to be stretched thinner and thinner. So we need to make sure each asset only uses as much memory as it needs to in order to make room for the additional new content.
As with all our patches, optimization takes time and we like to include them as soon as they are done. This results in smaller fixes in week to week, resulting in a gradual increase in performance over time rather than an all at once.

This week, we’ve introduced Blinky, a new mutated fish that can only be found in the Elysium region within the Mushroom Swamp. It’s a small addition on the surface, but one that starts to build out the identity and uniqueness of the area.
Alongside this, we’ve made updates to the Elysium Fish Map. The region now features its own distinct zones, rather than reusing layouts or data from other maps. This should make exploration feel more tailored and consistent with the environment.
At first glance, Blinky may seem like an ordinary fish, but it has some unusual properties beneath the surface. These won’t all be immediately obvious, as they’re something we plan to expand on and explore further in future updates.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38036764/0ecdcabb3abd926e8cc1538153ed1cd07ef5463f.gif
We’ve also added new variations for fish that are unique to the other maps, bringing each map up to one new fish to discover and catch. These are the Emerald Wraith on Olympus, Coral Tang on Styx and the Spotted Gar on Prometheus. These new additions can be found in different locations across Olympus, Styx, and Prometheus, encouraging players to explore a bit more thoroughly. To help track them down, we recommend using the FISH device, which can be purchased from the orbital workshop.
Looking ahead, we’re planning to expand the fishing system further. This will include adding more visible presence of fish in the world, introducing new rods with different properties, and creating more uses for fish beyond decoration and food.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38036764/afa69099329a112f2f2eba0187a69e4898eaecf9.png
Next week brings a brand-new legendary item - the Timber Extraction Unit. This high-powered chainsaw can engage in melee combat or can launch blades to fell trees from a distance. It can be upgraded like all legendary gear.

Build 23014177
May 1, 2026
Welcome to Week 230.
This week brings Boar Breeding to Icarus with a new Juvenile version of the Boar, new Fertility Serum to craft and 7 new Phenotypes to explore.
Coincidentally, we've also added what we're calling the "Slaughtering Mechanic". The ability to quickly dispatch tames through the use of a new Butcher's Knife.
We also provide a small preview of what's coming next week - a new radioactive fish called 'Blinky'.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38036764/1e4fd024bc5e88f6aea8ac2723c81e9fb627eddd.png
This week, we’ve expanded animal husbandry further with the introduction of Juvenile Boars, which some of you may have spotted in last week’s update. These young boars add another layer to breeding and progression as you develop your pigsty.
We’ve also introduced 7 new phenotypes, including 2 rare variants for players to seek out and collect, giving you more variety and long-term goals as you refine your herd.
To help get things started, there’s a new Boar Fertility Serum available to craft at the Ranching Station, making it easier to kick off your breeding efforts and experiment with different outcomes.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38036764/27c1f0d1114d0283191f23ac7b66ac228605eb6a.png
This week, we’re introducing the Butcher’s Cleaver, a tool designed to make removing unwanted tames quick and hassle-free. Craftable at the Anvil, Forge, or Foundry, it allows you to quickly dispatch mounts and tames by holding ‘X’ while equipped.
Previously, players had to rely on inefficient methods like leading tames into lava or slowly dealing damage with weapons. This new tool provides a faster, more practical solution for managing your creatures.
In addition we have also added a new achievement this week 'You Monster' which will be awarded upon successful slaughtering of a tamed creature.
We also plan to expand on this system in the future, with potential options like trading or selling unwanted tames to NPCs.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38036764/8cebf522973858539821cdb36b878d215a8c9f1c.png
Next week we plan on introducing a brand new fish map to Elysium - with a better distribution as well as introducing a new fish found only when fishing in an irradiated zone.
Meet Blinky.

- Several balance tweaks to the Hammerhead slug boss fight. Reduced Spin Attack projectiles, removed slow on ranged poison attack, reduced debuff timer from stepping on slug trail and poison spots, destroying a cocoon further debuffs inside slugs, and more.
- Fixing issue where if players have debuffs lowering their maximum health that persist on death (such as radiation poisoning) when revived there were cases where players where revived with 0 Health (10% of current max), this could result in a value of less that 1 resulting in their immediate death, this has now been fixed, at a minium players will revive with 1 health
- Fixed Snow Wolf tame mesh incorrectly using GFur material
- Added inverted Limestone Floor and Ramp building pieces
