Icarus Studios has announced that the companion app for Fallen Earth is set to be updated very soon. The app allows players to participate in a variety of in-game activities from the comfort of their iPhone. Players can check out auctions, chat, view character stats, send/reply to in-game email and more. The new update will grant even more in-game access including the ability to craft.

That means, in addition to checking out your characters’ stats, achievements, and in-game mail, chatting with other online players and viewing the Auction House, world maps and crafting queues, you’ll be granted full access to all of the Auction House features, have the ability to craft an item from scratch and send and receive in-game mail attachments!

The app will be $9.99 on the Fallen Earth site or at various other mobile app sites. The charge is a one-time fee.

Sounds awesome! Grab the current Fallen Earth companion app for $1.99 on iTunes and get access to the new features during the beta phase. The app is also available for Droid and for Blackberry.

Sounds sweet!
