ICARUS: Console Edition will be flying onto Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 in just a few weeks. The first-person PvE survival game from Rocketwerkz Studio sees players team up on the hostile planet of Icarus as they try to survive the savage planet. Originally developed for PC, the game is now coming to consoles and there is a brand-new trailer to celebrate the launch. Let’s find out exactly what’s what, as ICARUS: Console Edition is arriving late February.
About ICARUS: Console Edition
Per the team at Rocketwerkz Studio ” ICARUS: Console Edition takes players in teams of up to four to the hostile planet of Icarus, as they try to extract exotic resources while surviving its savage fauna, flora, and the very deadly skies above.
Humanity’s prospectors aren’t alone in exploring Icarus’s surface. Animal husbandry is an invaluable, intrinsic part of successfully extracting resources on the planet; different creatures transplanted from Earth during the failed attempt at terraforming, such as wolves and boars, can be tamed to provide a range of modifier buffs, including health regeneration or reduced oxygen consumption.“
Features of ICARUS: Console Edition
- An alien planet that fights back: Every element of Icarus resists humanity’s presence, with flora, fauna, and even the planet’s atmosphere, trying to drive players back into orbit.
