Auckland, New Zealand – July 18, 2025 – RocketWerkz today announced the release of Great Hunts Campaigns, a new endgame DLC for their hit survival game Icarus. This latest update significantly expands Icarus with new missions, weapons, armor, rewards, and boss fights.

The Great Hunts features three campaigns with 34 new missions culminating in three high-stakes boss encounters in dedicated arenas. Defeating them rewards players with powerful gear, including unique legendary weapons. With four upgrade slots with three options each, each legendary weapon offers up to 81 possible upgrade combinations.

“Great Hunts is designed for seasoned Icarus players as rewarding endgame content that truly puts them to the test. Survival games should be challenging after all,” said Dean Hall, CEO of RocketWerkz.

“The boss encounters are cinematic, multi-phase battles designed to deliver some of the most epic moments in Icarus to date, and provide rewards that make it all worthwhile.”

Before reaching the bosses, players will unlock branching missions with unique storylines and decisions that affect creature spawns, loot drops, crafting recipes, and boss difficulty. The hunts span all three of Icarus' open-world maps and lead to handcrafted boss fight arenas.

The update also introduces five new armor sets, with distinct bonuses and visual styles, several new creatures, and new boss-specific weapons, including guns, javelins, and grenades.

Icarus has received content updates every single week since its launch, and will receive another significant content boost this week for free. Alongside the paid DLC, five legendary weapons will be added to the game’s existing world bosses for current players, plus over 30 new items.

Icarus: Great Hunts Campaigns launches on July 18 on Steam and retails for USD24.99.
