Engage in 5v5 team-based space battles in the open beta for Stars of Icarus. Running from December 5th (that would be yesterday at the time of this article going live) through to December 21st, you can test this PvP multiplayer title ahead of its actual release.
This new playtest adds in additional content not accessible prior. There are two new ships, a new map, and player-owned lobbies.
Stars of Icarus is slated to hit Steam in 2026.
Key Features of Stars of Icarus
- The Best Crew in the Galaxy: Whether you pilot a Fighter, man the guns of a Frigate or keep the engines and shields running on a Corvette - every player will experience the highs of their victory, and lessons learned from their defeats. Form friendships, alliances, and rivalries as you come back again and again.
- Master These Stars: Your success in battle relies upon your strategy and your ability to execute. The ship classes you’ve chosen and your understanding of their strengths and weaknesses, your loadout, and your ability to support each other in a pinch all make the difference.
- For Glory (and Bragging Rights)!: Assert dominance over other crews and become renowned as the most lethal squadron around. With ranked modes (available at launch), you’ll have the ability to prove your prowess, too.
- Keep it Casual: Matches are designed to be pick-up and play, with 5v5 battles lasting around 20 minutes. Hang out in the pre-game lobby if you want to catch up with your crew or jump straight into your favourite community server and get stuck in.
