Icarus Online Opens Pre-Registration Ahead Of 2026 Service Launch
The Japanese service is being rebuilt from the global version rather than restored as it was, so returning players get the post-2022 content additions and a different growth system than the one they left.

G.O.P. Co., Ltd. began accepting pre-registrations and closed beta test participants for the PC MMORPG Icarus Online on Thursday, September 10, 2026, ahead of a service launch planned within 2026. The game ran in Japan from 2015 to 2022 and continued overseas. The revived Japanese service is based on the global version, with revamped fellows, dungeons, quests, rewards, equipment growth, and a reorganized enhancement stone system.
The official website went up the same day and carries the pre-registration and closed beta sign-ups alongside pages on the game system, classes, fellows, and story.
G.O.P. lists several changes against the old Japanese version. Fellows, dungeons, quests, and rewards now follow the global version. Equipment growth adds Potential, Quality Improvement, and Blessing, so characters develop through several routes instead of enhancement alone. The enhancement stones have been reorganized into fewer types, and a launch season pass pays out rewards across all 50 tiers.
The Fellow system remains the center of the game. Players capture monsters as allies, grow and seal them in seal stones, and can synthesize some into different forms.
