Riders of Icarus Articles
Greetings, Riders! It’s BK again, the lead game designer for the Riders of Icarus development team at WeMade. Collecting mounts is a core feature of Riders of Icarus, and in this DEV Blog I’ll discuss my two favorite mounts and some of the decisions we’ve made while designing mounts in the game.
The Riders of Icarus team has posted a quick peek at the Halloween festivities that players will encounter over the next few weeks in game. Four separate events are taking place that can yield candy and good times for participants.
Nexon America has announced that Riders of Icarus has been updated with the Rift of the Damned content expansion. Players will have a new zone to explore, new mounts to tame, and a higher level cap of 40.
Riders of Icarus will be growing with the Rift of the Damned content expansion. One of the coolest things coming are a plethora of new mounts. The Riders of Icarus team has compiled the top ten mounts that players can wrangle while there.
The Riders of Icarus site has been updated with a brief notice to let players know that the Rift of the Damned content expansion is being delayed until Wednesday, October 5th to give the team time for further testing.
The Riders of Icarus tumblr page has been updated with a new developer blog that gives a visual and textual look at the Rift of the Damned that will be coming to players on September 29th. Rift of the Damned comes with a new dungeon, bosses and new mounts to collect for high-end players.
The Riders of Icarus site has been updated with a new Producer's Letter to inform the community that sweeping changes will be forthcoming to the Alliance System due to exploitation by larger guilds that were trading wins for lucrative boons and for the acquisition of PvP gear.
Riders of Icarus has seen over a million registered players since it debuted in July. To celebrate the big news, the team has published a great new video about what people are saying about the game.
Rift of the Damned, Riders of Icarus’ next big content update is set to drop on September 28th. Along with a whole new zone, new quests, a new dungeon, and new mounts it’ll also raise the level cap to 40, putting the NA version of the game one step closer to its Korean forebear. We’ve been dabbling with a level 40 Berserker on the test server and saw a lot of the new content in the process.
Nexon’s Riders of Icarus makes familiars, or tamable creatures, a central focus of the game. But it’s not only possible to tame creatures for use as mounts or pets, creatures can also be “sealed” in order to improve the stats on your gear. Today, we’ll be walking you through how to seal familiars in Riders of Icarus.
On Wednesday, September 28th, Riders of Icarus players will get a big new update in the form of Rift of the Damned. New content includes a new dungeon, cool new mounts, the Realm of Twilight zone, and new quests all alongside an increased level cap to 40.
The Riders of Icarus site has been updated with a new developer blog that lays out some of the forthcoming PvE content coming to the game in the coming days and weeks. Among other things, players at level 35 can access Lair of Ienos to complete a daily quest to grab hold of his Familiar Control Stone. One of two elite creatures will appear with players able to attempt taming them.
The Riders of Icarus site has been updated with an extensive patch note list to detail the Exarahn Badlands update that has been deployed on game servers. Players can now take part in the Exarahn Badlands PvP zone including Manastone Battles and all attendant events.
The latest Riders of Icarus producer's letter has been published that deals with a sensitive subject for many players. It begins by acknowledging the fact that the game has been plagued with bots and spammers since Head Start and, while temporary measures have been put into place, the development team has been largely silent on the issue while players have been loudly decrying the issue across social media and in the game itself.
The Riders of Icarus site has been updated with a new blog post to give PvP fans a look at how the twice-per-week Manastone Battles function. After a server-wide announcement, a manastone will appear in the PvP battle zone called Exarahn Badlands. Guild Alliances and Militia fighters then race to cooperatively capture and return the stone to the Vantara Manastone Oracle. In some ways, it is similar to "capture the flag" PvP.
