Happy New Year, gamers! The developers of Icarus have been busy converting more of the Olympus missions into operations, allowing players to enjoy these classic experiences in an open-world setting. This ongoing project aims to make the game’s original content more accessible to newer players who may have only experienced the open world. Players can now dive into a fresh set of Olympus Operations, just in time for the New Year’s break. The newly converted missions include FORSAKEN ACCUMULATION, POTSHOT ARGICULTURE, PRESERVATION INCURSION, SEVEN PILLARS, SANDBOX CRYOGENIC, and more. These conversions not only bring back beloved content but also come with tweaks to enhance the gameplay experience. This update is part of a broader effort to integrate classic missions into the open-world format, ensuring that players can enjoy the best of both worlds. The developers have also addressed a known issue where clients are unable to fire ranged weapons when connecting to a friend’s hosted game or a dedicated server. This problem seems to affect older prospects with existing weapons but not new ones crafted during the session. A potential fix has been implemented on the Experimental Branch, though it is important to note that this build includes some content scheduled for future releases and may not be fully tested due to the holiday period. Players are encouraged to try out the new Olympus Operations and provide feedback to help improve the game further. The community’s support is crucial in making these updates possible, and players can show their appreciation by checking out the Icarus Pet Companions Pack and the Icarus Winter Sale Bundle available on Steam. Next week, the developers plan to introduce another shield at T4 called the Platinum Shield, featuring a unique design that will add more depth to the game’s defensive options.
