Riders of Icarus Celebrates 1 Million Player Milestone

It's only been 1 month since the open beta of Riders of Icarus landed, and while it wasn't certain to see the same success it saw in Asia as Icarus Online, if the recently surpassed milestone is anything to go by, it could be onto something similar. Partnering with popular MMO portal Nexon America, WeMade brought Riders of Icarus to Western audiences with moderate success over the last month. Citing player feedback as a reason why the in-game Cash Shop is being reworked into a less 'Pay2Win' situation alongside the addition of Action Mode combat.

WeMade have pledged long-term support for the title with a major content update coming next week. Titled 'Rift of the Damned', players will already be able to explore a new zone alongise a level cap increase, new 10-man raid and plenty more creatures to collect.
