Hello Everyone,
We’re very excited to announce testing for not one, but two new game modes for Guns of Icarus Online! Join in this Saturday at 12 pm eastern. Fire up your Dev App and join us in game as we put these two new game modes through the fires of player testing.
The Game modes are VIP, which we’ll be testing on Anglean this weekend. Anglean VIP has proven to be the most violent game mode we’ve ever tested. 30 ship destroyed in 20 minutes. Get in, protect your VIP and destroy theirs in a Knock-Down, Drag-Out Brawl.
Skyball is a tactical mode focused on aggressive tackles, deadly turn overs, and mad dashes to the goal line. You can see an example of a ball steal above that lead to a rush cross the line while the enemy was wiped out by the backline.
If you don’t have access to the Dev App, Click here and grab a code in the discussions! We’re going to be talking about these new game modes and more live at twitch.tv.

Our player of the week is: Barbute
This earns them a free item of their choice due to the numerous applauds they’ve received.
“Barbute is perhaps the greatest gunner I have ever seen, always landing incrediable shots. Shots which disable enemy guns as well as landing fatal blows. Without a doubt in my mind Barbute is an amazing gunner and stunning teammate.”
“Super nice gal”
