ICARUS: Console - PS5

Uncover the Survivor’s Challenge in ICARUS: Console

ICARUS: Console Edition transforms the survival genre on the PS5 with its brutal world of toxic skies and ruthless wildlife. This game plunges players into a once-hopeful terraforming project gone horribly wrong. Team up with friends or tackle challenges alone as you navigate a hostile planet bent on your demise. With pre-order bonuses including 11 new animal companions, you’ll quickly find the ideal squad to help you survive and thrive.

Explore the Terrifying World of ICARUS

Dropped into a menacing environment, players must contend with angry storms, wildfires, and predatory beasts lurking in the shadows. The game's environment fights back, creating a constant sense of urgency. Featuring two vast 64 km² maps filled with diverse terrains—forests, mountains, deserts, and caves—exploration is both rewarding and perilous. Each drop from orbit tests your resourcefulness as you gather essential supplies and battle the planet's inherent dangers.

Survive with the New Frontiers Expansion

Alongside the base game, players gain immediate access to the New Frontiers expansion from the get-go. This significant content update adds not just variety but a host of new challenges, including new biomes like alien grasslands and volcanic wastelands. Six gripping narrative missions await as players search for a UDA whistleblower, delving deeper into ICARUS’s lore while facing off against mutated apex predators like Needlers and Dreadwings.

Craft and Customize Your Survival Gear

Survival requires not just raw will but also ingenuity. Players can harvest resources ranging from trees and rocks to exotic plants, crafting over 100 new items that bolster your chances of survival. As you progress through the tech tree and talent system, you'll shift from primitive tools to advanced gadgets, emphasizing your personal survival style. Whether you want to specialize as a master builder or a lethal hunter, the choice is yours.

Diverse Game Modes Keep it Fresh

ICARUS: Console offers varied gameplay experiences through three distinct modes: open world exploration, time-limited missions, and creative building in outposts. The open-world allows for extensive base establishment and free exploration, while timed contracts add pressure to extract valuable resources before time runs out. Outposts serve as low-stakes environments for building and experimentation, offering a reprieve from the harsher elements of the main game.

Rewards Await in Every Corner

Earning loot and rewards is a significant motivator in ICARUS. Players earn trophies and upgrades by building out their companions' talent trees, enhancing your tactical options for impending encounters. The risk-reward equation is ever-present as players weigh the benefits of exploring dangerous terrains against the permanent losses that come with failure. Discovering new exotics and crafting powerful new items incentivizes players to push the boundaries of what’s possible.

Reckoning with the Hostile Environment

Every step in ICARUS is filled with dangers that demand strategy. Natural disasters can strike at any moment, decimating your well-laid plans. Keeping your base intact while braving volatile conditions ensures that survival is both a test of skill and adaptability. Teamwork plays a crucial role, making alliances essential as you adapt to the planet's constant threats which aim to drive you back into orbit.

With ICARUS: Console Edition, survival is just the beginning. Whether you're building a stable home base or trudging through hazardous missions, every choice matters in this unforgiving landscape. The thrill of survival awaits.
