RocketWerkz’ co-op survival game, Icarus, is celebrating its 2nd anniversary by allowing everyone to drop onto the hostile Earth-like planet of Prometheus for free throughout the weekend. If you’re curious about the game, now would be a good time to check it out as the free-play event will only run until December 4th.

“ICARUS is a PvE survival game for up to eight players. Explore a savage wilderness in the aftermath of terraforming gone wrong. Survive the Open World, complete timed Missions or build your Outpost. Explore, build, craft and hunt while seeking your fortune and prospecting for exotic matter.”

Icarus is the brainchild of DayZ creator Dean Hall and was initially a session-based survival game when it launched in December 2021. It’s since been updated with two additional game modes: Open World, which offers a traditional survival crafting experience, and Outpost, which allows players to unleash their inner architects and get creative in a safe environment. Dozens of new missions and nearly a thousand craftable items have also been added over the past two years.

If you decide to dive in this weekend and like what you see, you’ll be able to grab a copy of the game at 33% off on Steam until the end of the free-play event. You’ve only got until December 4th to do so though, so you better act fast.
