Riders of Icarus is an MMO that lets you capture and train your own mounts and pets. That’s the short version, in case you haven’t checked out our many previews or hopped into the open beta for yourself. This week, a major update is going to expand the content available in that beta, and we’ll be on hand to show off a bit of what’s coming ahead of its scheduled release.
The Blight of Frost Keep update will up the level cap to 35, providing you with 10 more levels of skills and abilities. Along with the added level count, you’ll have a whole bunch of new content to explore. You’ll start in Parna’s Coast, a frozen land as vast as the Hakanas Highlands, filled with powerful monsters to defeat or command.
The Frost Keep is commanded by Rondo Terramunce and the Frost Guard, and provides you ample opportunity to add new ghostly familiars to menagerie. The Cavern of the Veil is filled with dangerous bosses hiding powerful rewards, and if you can manage to survive the cave’s enchanted tricks, you might just find a one-of-kind creature to tame.
All this will be coming to the open beta for free later this week, but if you can’t wait, you’re in luck! We’ll be hitting Parna’s Coast with an hour-long stream previewing the new content today. How deep will we manage to get in that time? Who knows! But we’ll be providing that early glimpse starting today at 12PM ET/5PM BST on Twitch. Stay tuned right afterwards for our Indie Showcase, featuring Double Fine’s Headlander!
