Epic Airship to Airship Combat
And welcome to the announcement of our Guns of Icarus Competitive structure launch.
We’ve set out to make an easy system that will allow for teams new and old to compete against one another in skirmishes, leagues, and tournaments. These teams will be vying against one another to earn a place in the end of season tournament where they can win awesome prizes such as in game badges, and out of game loot.
Pilots, Crewmen and Professional spectators alike prepare yourself for your trial by spire.
This Saturday August 3rd at 10:30am EST we’ve got some of the top teams facing off in a Battle Royale that’ll be the hottest Spire on Spire action this side of the Fjord Baronies.
The Tournament restrictions ensure that teams will be forced to show off some interesting builds and strategies as well as tact in piloting one of the squishiest ships in the game.
You can find more detailed information here.
We’ll have two great streamers Fade Dragon and Imagine streaming live!
Unfortunately we introduced a bad bug in our patch earlier today, and will need to take the servers down briefly to fix it. 🙁
Downtime is scheduled for 7:00PM EST tonight.
UPDATE: And we’re back as of 7:15PM!
Game servers will be down for about an hour in order to do maintenance. We’ll be back up soon and ready to set you all back loose into the skies.

We’ve had a bunch of new faces join us in the past week and while we know you’re having a blast blowing airships out of the sky. We’d like to show off the more competitive side of the Guns of Icarus. One of our Community Moderators and our official twitch streamer, Qwertyjam, will be streaming the final championship round of the first season of the Cogs, a weekly scrimmage involving some of the best players. It all starts this Saturday at 4 pm EST.
We had our biggest weekend ever for Guns of Icarus and we want to thank TGS for showing us off, our engineers for working all weekend on patches to keep the servers working, our amazing support staff of players who manually started games while the countdown was going slow, and for all of our players for being patient while we brought the lobby servers back in line.
