Hey Prospectors!

Your first attempt at our missions system was not only successful, it was incredible to watch. From exterminating alpha wolves, to setting up laser systems, you established yourselves as names to remember amongst the First Cohort.

We gathered a ton of great feedback, insight and data from your sessions and Feature Upvote submissions, so thank you all.

Make sure you keep sharing all your photos, videos and art with us by posting it in #screenshots in Discord, or tagging us with #surviveicarus on social media.

Lots of missions, even more content

This week provided an array of missions that took you around Icarus, with new technology, bosses and more. We wanted to share just a few of our favourites here:

RIP this Bears ankles - SlothOcelot

There's a new Alpha in this neighborhood - Porcupineflair

Beta Weekend Seven sneak peek

Beta Weekend Seven is going to be a different experience than prior weekends. Instead of testing out new core features or systems, instead we’ll be hosting some community events and giveaways to celebrate you, the players, for your effort over the last six Beta Weekends.

We’ll be bringing back classic missions you’ve already experienced, but with all the tweaks and improvements we’ve delivered over the last three months in place.

We’ll also be hosting competitions for our most creative prospectors and a massive giveaway for community members. Our new Photo Mode tool will come in handy for showcasing your builds and vistas.

While this is all happening, our team will be putting the final touches on the game. We’re really pleased that so many players have reported better optimization and stability each Beta Weekend. We’re under a month away from launch and we couldn’t be more excited.
