Hey everyone,

The team has been hard at work, but this week we’re going to talk about the community events starting tomorrow!

Right now on steam Guns of Icarus is on sale. This means you’re going to start to see a few more players in game. More than that though tomorrow is a giant youtuber event and the servers are going to be filled! We spent the week preparing for the new players and we’re super excited to see all our vets welcome in these newbies with open arms.
