Developer Muse Games has announced the 5 v 5 player versus player dogfighter Stars of Icarus will be entering its first public playtest on September 24th, 2025 ahead of the game's launch in 2026.
The playtest will run until October 5th, and players can sign up now via Steam.
About:
In Stars of Icarus, you’ll assemble a ragtag squad of teammates, duking it out against other teams of five in the ultimate battle for dominance. Customize your loadout and choose from powerful Frigates, agile Fighters, and more in order to strategically form a fleet capable of taking on any enemy team.
However, as players will quickly learn in the playtest: teamwork makes the dreamwork. You’ll need to have each other’s backs by performing roles, repairing ships, manning weapons, and calling out enemies in the game’s varied, intergalactic battlefields in order to succeed.
Key Features of Stars of Icarus
- The Best Crew in the Galaxy: Whether you pilot a Fighter, man the guns of a Frigate or keep the engines and shields running on a Corvette - every player will experience the highs of their victory, and lessons learned from their defeats. Form friendships, alliances, and rivalries as you come back again and again.
- Master These Stars: Your success in battle relies upon your strategy and your ability to execute. The ship classes you’ve chosen and your understanding of their strengths and weaknesses, your loadout, and your ability to support each other in a pinch all make the difference.
- For Glory (and Bragging Rights)!: Assert dominance over other crews and become renowned as the most lethal squadron around. With ranked modes, you’ll have the ability to prove your prowess, too.
- Keep it Casual: Matches are designed to be pick-up and play, with 5v5 battles lasting around 20 minutes. Hang out in the pre-game lobby if you want to catch up with your crew or jump straight into your favourite community server and get stuck in.Z
Stars of Icarus will be released on Windows PC via Steam in 2026.
