The pet-taming MMORPG, Riders of Icarus, is officially returning under the new title Icarus Online. This revival was announced today, September 10th, following earlier hints about its return. The game is slated to come back online this fall, with development overseen by Valofe and publishing handled by GOP Co. Ltd. Players will find Icarus Online operating under a free-to-play model, supported by a cash shop, though specific items available for purchase have not been detailed.
For returning players, it has been confirmed that all progress will be reset, meaning everyone will start anew. The game will feature eight classes, and adjustments have been made to creature types and abilities. Dungeon rewards have also received tweaks. Additionally, a season pass will be available, offering another progression system within the game.
Closed Beta and Future Content
A closed beta test for Icarus Online is scheduled to run from September 29th to October 5th. Players interested in participating can pre-register for the game, which also enters them into a draw for a spot in the closed beta. To sign up, players will need an account through either Pmang or VFUN platforms.
Looking ahead, future updates for Icarus Online are planned to introduce additional dungeons, raise the level cap, and expand the available gear and zones. These updates aim to provide ongoing content for the relaunched MMORPG.
