Icarus Online global service launch

Overview

Valofe initiated the global Closed Beta Test (CBT) for the PC MMORPG ‘Icarus Online’ on September 29, 2026. Due to high interest, the testing period was extended to conclude on October 6. The CBT allowed participants to test core content, including character progression and gameplay enhancements, to help developers refine stability for the official launch.

Following the testing phase, Valofe and GOP Co., Ltd. announced that the official global service launch is scheduled for October 22, 2026, targeting regions including Japan, Taiwan, North America, and Europe. During the CBT, developers reported a peak day-over-day retention rate of 70.4%. While players expressed satisfaction with the ‘Fellow System,’ feedback also highlighted concerns regarding server stability and connectivity. In preparation for the launch, a pre-character creation event is set for October 16 to October 21.
