Hi everyone, we have some exciting news!
New Live Opening Theme
It’s always been a dream of ours to have our main theme be performed live, and our dream finally came true! We brought in an accomplished string quartet to record the main theme captured it into two new tracks – string and alternative pizzicato versions.
If you have the Collector’s Edition, these two new tracks are available immediately. Additionally, as a bonus, all CE owners also now have access to the sheet music. The new theme will be added to the next update soon. If you own the base game, you can now upgrade to the Collector’s Edition, it’s even 66% off until the end of the Lunar New Year Sale! If you want to learn more about how we made this all happen, here’s a chronicle of the creative process:

Troubadour of Burren Event!
Since we’re releasing our new live version of the main theme, we’d love to hear your version as well! In your game folder you’ll find sheet music to the Guns of Icarus Main Theme, the same one we’re releasing today. Take any instrumental, vocal, or other musical ability you have to do your own cover. Every person that emails in their cover version to feedback@musegames.com (bad, great, or otherwise) will receive a free item of their choice and, in the next patch, the exclusive title Touring Troubadour. The event ends on March 18th!
The best cover will have a chance to be released into the game files for everyone to hear. Good luck sky captains!
