Don't worry, it will be there on GeForce Now for launch (well from 2pm Fri 3 Dec PST).

Yes 'Icarus' is a separate app from 'Icarus Beta' and they're removed the Beta which you can't play anymore.

Nope, just tachyons and exotic matter disrupting the time-space continuum

We just thought we'd give you a rest for Thanksgiving and other game launches ;-) Don't worry - we have a bunch of news coming this week and this weekend.

Remember back in April how we delivered a 7-minute long short film? There's another one of those coming, but longer. Plus announcements about drivers, what's in 1.0, maybe some Twitch streams.

Yes we are translating Icarus into Brazilian Portuguese and Latin American Spanish for launch.

Our translators are furiously adding words to the game as we get ready for launch this weekend. But then our developers add new features and they have to play catch up ;-)

You'll also see that one of the Governmental factions on Icarus, União, and the space engineering company Inaris LLC are both from South America.

Yes, this is on our roadmap for future.

We've already got some of it implemented in our developer's build, but making it work properly for 100% of the things you do in game (eg, menus, building commands) takes a bit longer.

In general, always update to the latest drivers - but just prior to launch we expect NVIDIA to update their game-ready drivers to include Icarus. We'll let you know when they're available.

It's a timezone thing ;-)

Yes Icarus will launch on Saturday 4 December UTC. If you're in the USA that may even mean the afternoon/evening of Friday 3 December.

We shared this around the studio and I can say that many of the devs are very impressed!

Good news! If you only want to play singleplayer there is an offline mode that will store all your progress on your local harddrive with no need for an internet connection.

Not in this chapter.

The corporate and governmental factions operating on icarus are rivals but are doing their best to avoid any diplomatic incidents for now.

Yes!

But we have a 10% discount if you pre-order, but it will continue as a 10% discount for our entire launch week.

We've changed the name from Deluxe to Supporters Edition too, to better show that it's for people who want to support the long-term development of Icarus. We'll also add a few little things to it in future.

Well, it is a video game.

There is more backstory on how Icarus came to be here.[surviveicarus.com]
