The creator of DayZ and Icarus has announced a massive DLC for the latter game, and it's packed with new content. Originally released in 2021 to mostly positive reviews, Icarus is known for its brutally challenging gameplay and unforgiving environments. Since launch, the survival horror title has received numerous patches to fix a variety of bugs that were plaguing the game. Despite the glitches, Icarus serves as a worthy spiritual successor to the apocalyptic zombie chaos of DayZ for many fans.
Icarus was developed by RocketWerkz, a studio founded by Dean Hall, a former game designer at Bohemia Interactive. Hall created DayZ independently while working at Bohemia, initially as a mod for ARMA 2. Following the mod's massive success, Bohemia Interactive hired Hall to lead the development of a standalone version of DayZ. After leaving Bohemia in 2014, Hall founded RocketWerkz and released games like Out of Ammo and Stationeers, with Icarus being the studio's most ambitious and high-profile title to date.
The notoriously difficult Icarus is being made just a little more forgiving by its developers when it comes to when players lose their characters.
As revealed by Icarus on Twitter, the game will introduce a new DLC...
