Auckland, New Zealand – March 5, 2026 – RocketWerkz today announced the release of Dangerous Horizons, a huge expansion to its hit PC sci-fi survival game Icarus.
Dangerous Horizons expands Icarus with Elysium, a vast new 8x8 km region featuring a story-driven campaign, hostile factions and creatures, new mounts, geothermal biomes and deadly radiation zones. It also comes with an update that adds powerful tier five technology, new building pieces, new weapons and NPC traders throughout the game.
The expansion adds over 45 new creatures and hostile NPCs, some mutated by radiation, including a new world boss. New allies include four mounts, including lethal raptors, and three tamable creatures with their own talent trees and abilities. New equipment includes a hover-bike, laser weapons, lithium tools, uranium rods, and new armors. The map, Elysium, introduces geothermal biomes, radioactive areas, an NPC encampment and a series of narrative missions that continue on from the events of Icarus' last expansion.
“This DLC significantly extends the game content, coming close to what we would do with a sequel,” said Dean Hall, RocketWerkz CEO. “It includes a whole new map, mission campaign, and an array of new animals and bosses. At that same time we’re adding a free update to the base game with advanced tier five technology such oil geysers and more.”
Icarus' base game will also receive a major free content update. The "Kepler" update introduces a whole new tech tier, oil resources, new items, new equipment, new building sets, and NPC traders to all of Icarus' maps.
Icarus: Dangerous Horizons is out now on PC on Steam.
Separately, Icarus: Console Edition is coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles later this month on March 26, courtesy of Czechia’s GRIP Studios. The console edition comes bundled with the New Frontiers expansion and map, but not Dangerous Horizons at this time.
