Matchmaking Testing!
- With a simple click of the poster and sign up you’ll have everything you need to be the first to see Matchmaking.
After a few months of gathering feedback, thinking, planning, designing, building, and tinkering we are getting ready for everyone to help us test the new matchmaking system.

Weekly Progress Update: January 24th
Time to start some weekly updates on our progress. We always have people asking what’s happening at the Muse office so we’re going to let you see what’s behind the curtain.

It’s a bigger and more vicious free-for-all for the entire Guns of Icarus Community. The second season of the competitive scene comes with a cleaner set of rules, a weekly open event that aims to work with any team’s time, and a massive end of the season tournament.
