Stars of Icarus is the continuation of a decade-long legacy. Guns of Icarus Online pioneered the crew-based PvP airship experience back in 2012. Stars of Icarus is the next chapter, providing a modernized experience of the classic multiplayer PvP experience.
Form a crew of five to face off against each other. Choose your ship, join your squadron, customize your loadout, and become the Frontier’s most lethal crew. Will you master the stars or go out in a blaze of glory?

In every pre-game lobby, you’ll get to select from six ships and over 25 variations of fleet formations. Choose between solo fighters, two-seater corvettes or bring in the big guns with a three-manned frigate. Each arena adds its own twists and turns to your engagements with dynamic environments. Use your team’s experience to your advantage or fall victim to their unforgiving nature.

Within your ship, you’ll need to choose your specialty. Whether you take responsibility for navigating the cosmic fog, manning the cannons to wipe out enemy ships, or ensuring the shields and engines hold – when the ship goes down, the crew goes down with it. Customize your character loadouts to hold specialist tools to ensure you can get the job done.

Master a variety of engineering tools, arm your ship with different weapons and ammo types, and experiment with a range of ship skills and jump drives depending on your fleet composition. Access the full armory of weapons and equipment from the get-go, and discover your favorite loadout. No grinding. No pay-to-win.

Enjoy Stars of Icarus in your own way - jump into competitive modes or kick back for the evening to hang out with friends in custom lobbies and servers. Tell tales of your narrow escape from enemy fire, drifting through asteroid fields with half an engine and a broken antenna.
