Survival fans, get ready—Icarus is about to get even more intense! Developer RocketWerkz has just announced a massive new DLC titled Icarus: Great Hunts, adding thrilling new content to the already punishing survival game.

This expansion introduces three massive hunts across different regions: Quarrite on Olympus, Gargantuan on Styx, and Rimetusk on Prometheus. Each hunt comes with a brutal new boss, featuring unique abilities that will push even the most hardened players to their limits. And for those wondering—yes, more hunts are planned for the future! The good news? The Icarus DLC isn’t mandatory. RocketWerkz has confirmed that core gameplay mechanics will receive free updates, so even players who stick to the base game won’t be left behind.

Icarus: Tougher Than Ever

Since its launch in 2021, the game has made a name for itself with its ruthless survival mechanics and Icarus permadeath system that has claimed more characters than we can count. While it may not be as open-world as DayZ, the game’s session-based missions offer a structured yet brutal experience on an unforgiving alien world. While a specific release date hasn’t been confirmed, Icarus: Great Hunts is set to drop soon. Time to sharpen your spears, stock up on oxygen, and prepare for some of the deadliest encounters yet!
