When you think of space, the phrase “no one can hear you scream” often comes to mind. But in the multiplayer realm of games, I find joy in the laughter and occasional panic shared with fellow players.

In the newly announced Stars of Icarus, which was unveiled at the PC Gaming Show 2025, the game promises not just thrills but also room for humor as I organize my teammates to take control of various ship functions and navigate through perilous battles. Maybe I’ll even summon a cup of Earl Grey while in the heat of action.

From the creators of Guns of Icarus, this title shifts from its steampunk roots and embraces vibrant, anime-influenced designs as players pilot swift spaceships amidst enemy fleets, trying to avoid being blasted to bits. The gameplay trailer hints at a more energetic pace compared to its predecessor, and the aesthetic feels fresh, moving away from the sepia tones of the past to a bright, colorful universe that’s sure to captivate.

Stars of Icarus is slated for release in spring 2026, and it is set to deliver an exhilarating cooperative experience for those who navigate its starry expanse.
