Icarus, the survival game made by Dean Hall of DayZ fame, is coming to console. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series versions of the game will be released in Q1 2026, and a trailer for the ports was aired during the Galaxies showcase today.
The console ports are being handled by a separate team to Hall’s RocketWerkz studio in New Zealand. They’re being developed by Grip Studios in the Czech Republic, which helped make games like Mafia: The Old Country, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Conan Exiles and more in the past.
Icarus, a PvE survival crafting game for up to eight players, was released four years ago on PC and got off to a rocky start. But three expansions and many content updates later, it’s in better shape. The console ports arriving later in the game’s lifecycle means Grip has the benefit of cherry picking the best additions, and notably, the console version will include the New Frontiers expansion released in 2023.
