by Rainier on May 23, 2016 @ 4:28 p.m. PDT

Riders of Icarus is a free-to-play action-adventure MMORPG featuring aerial combat unlike anything ever seen before in the genre.

Players take flight on the backs of fantastical beasts, ranging from ferocious bears to fire-breathing dragons, to fight by both land and air in the unprecedented experience MMO players have been waiting for. 

In Riders of Icarus, players will explore a vast, majestic and ever-expanding world where they can collect and train hundreds of different wild beasts, taming them to become rideable mounts with unique special abilities.  As a legendary Rider, with renowned combat abilities, players will coordinate with other heroes both in the air and on the ground to engage in theatrical boss battles utilizing the game’s frenetic action-oriented melee combo system.  With hundreds of ground and aerial mounts to collect, the sky is no longer the limit for the Riders of Icarus, who fight to protect mankind from an ancient invading evil.

Beginning Thursday, June 2 and running through Tuesday, June 7, Nexon America is hosting a test for players in Western Europe, North America, Oceania and Latin America. The final closed beta test will introduce new gameplay updates as well as additional enhancements based on consumer feedback from previous tests. Sign up here for the chance to participate.

As an added bonus for those who play, exclusive permanent Silver Dragon or Gold Dragon capes will be rewarded at the launch of open beta.  Players participating in the final closed beta play a crucial role in providing valuable developer feedback. Following the completion of the closed beta, WeMade will work to implement changes based on consumer input ahead of the open beta on July 6. Players who purchase one of the Riders of Icarus Founder’s Packs will also be given a seven-day Head Start with access to the game beginning on June 29.
