Riders of Icarus
Take the battle to the sky with fantastical flying mount combat unlike anything you've seen before in Riders of Icarus, the new unprecedented action-adventure MMORPG experience that lets you ride and fight on the back of the realm’s most dangerous winged beasts… dragons.
What it feels like
Flying mount combat and aerial battle suggest kinetic rush and momentum-driven thrills.
What it's about
A secondary fantasy world of dragons, flying beasts, and epic adventure provides the setting and atmosphere.
How it plays
Flying mount combat on dragons is the unprecedented signature mechanic—riding and fighting from the back of winged beasts is the central hook. Dragons as flying mounts enable sustained aerial traversal and combat maneuverability as a core movement mode. Action-adventure combat from dragon-back suggests skill-based, dynamic movement and attack sequencing rather than turn-based play.
How it looks and sounds
Third-person perspective typical for MMO dragon-riding to showcase the mount and aerial positioning.
How it's structured
Explicitly described as an MMORPG with massively multiplayer gameplay, persistent shared world, and online PvP as core features. Open-world exploration is emphasized as a core experience alongside flying mount combat across a large continuous realm. Online PvP is listed as a core feature, enabling player-versus-player aerial combat.
