Available now in two editions, Standard (USD$39.99) and Ultimate (USD$139.99), ICARUS: Console Edition includes the New Frontiers Expansion, doubling the size of the game world to 128km2 and bringing with it six new biomes not included in the base game. Its region of Prometheus, far deadlier than anything else seen before on Icarus, ramps up the challenge further, with indigenous wildlife clamouring to overwhelm any would-be prospector looking to extract its riches. It also harbours a conspiracy in the shadows, with a string of six missions threatening to reveal the secrets of the corporation that tried to make the planet a second Earth\u2026<\/p>\n
The Ultimate version of ICARUS: Console Edition includes a significant collection of downloadable content that\u2019s also available to buy separately, such as the Styx Expansion (which adds the Styx region, 23 new missions, and new creatures), cosmetic packs such as the Art Deco and Industrial Furniture packs, six further outposts, and the First Cohort Envirosuit.<\/p>\n
