Bring Your Own Save
Already started an Open World locally? Easily upload your existing prospect data via FTP and transition your local game to a 24/7 dedicated server without losing progress.
Survive the Deadly Planet of Icarus
Icarus is a session-based PvE survival game for up to eight co-op players. Set on an Earth-like planet where terraforming failed, you must drop from the orbital station to explore, harvest, craft, and survive. Seek out rare exotic matter, but beware: the environment is actively trying to kill you.
While Icarus can be played locally, a dedicated server completely transforms the experience. With persistent Open World modes, your friends no longer have to wait for the original host to come online. Everyone can drop into the prospect, upgrade the base, and extract exotics on their own schedule.
Brutal Weather Systems
Flash floods, blizzards, and lightning strikes will tear apart poorly constructed bases. Our servers calculate complex environmental destruction flawlessly.
Voxel Mining & Exotics
Every rock face can be mined. Extract valuable exotics, return them to orbit, and research advanced technology to bring back down on your next drop.
Dynamic Fire Propagation
A single lightning strike or carelessly placed torch can burn down a whole forest—and your wooden cabin. Dedicated hardware ensures fire physics run without lag.
