• Fixed the timing with the guess animation/sound. Also made it change with board size.

• Removed a dev cheat.

• A new “SLAM!!!” mechanic has been added so that you can express how you feel while gambling. Just express yourself responsibly.
  
• Blackjack
  has been added. It’s got a couple varying rules and even some dapper dealers.

• Slots got some more visual and audio updates

Go wild, you can play Do you need anything else?

Hey Rifters! We’re excited to share that the next public playtest will be kicking off August 7 at 10am EDT.

This is a major milestone for the team as we continue working hard towards Early Access release. We can’t wait to open the rift once more and invite you back to Pioneers’ Landing.

We are announcing this public stress test well in advance to give all players who wish to participate the opportunity to do so.

This open beta test is all about:

• Stress-testing our servers and matchmaking improvements
  
• PvP games will now prefer to match players into groups of similar size
  
• Gathering critical feedback on system improvements, such as updated gun combat
  
• Identifying bugs and issues across a broader player base
  
• Seeing how YOU play so we can continue fine-tuning the player experience
  
• We will be implementing machine-translated text for all supported languages to test the localization system itself, so the text may not always be accurate. We are still working with a localization partner to have official translations for day 1 of Early Access.

• Date and time: August 7 at 10am EDT until August 11 at 10am EDT
  
• Access: Free for everyone, on Steam!

If you’ve already followed and wishlisted us on Steam, you’ll be notified the moment the test goes live!

We’ve been building Lost Rift with the core belief that player feedback makes our game stronger, which is why we value your participation in our playtests. Your voice helps shape the direction of the game, and tests like this one are our way of checking that we’re continuing on the right track.

During the playtest period, we’ll be actively monitoring:

• Steam forums
  
• Discord feedback channel
  
• Discord and Steam forum bug reports
  
• Your content on YouTube and Twitch
  
• We are also launching our brand new subreddit, r/LostRiftGame! If you prefer to use Reddit, join our page and post your playtest hype there, too!

Don’t forget to wishlist Lost Rift on Steam to stay in the loop and get notified when Early Access launches.

We will see you in Pioneers’ Landing very soon!

We can’t wait to show you what’s next.

Rule the map with Kane! 📡 The Human Blaster uses long-range rockets, critical strikes, and raw firepower to control every fight.

🔥 Inferno Barrage 🎯 Deadly Focus 💢 Blaster’s Fury 🌌 Horizon Reach

Kane, the Human Blaster, is the ultimate long-range threat on the battlefield. Armed with high-powered rockets and unmatched precision, he’s the enemy’s worst nightmare from afar.

With Inferno Barrage, Kane unleashes a focused assault, dealing massive damage to a single target and eliminating threats before they even get close. Deadly Focus sharpens his aim, dramatically boosting his critical hit chance and making every shot count in the heat of battle.

Blaster’s Fury channels Kane’s relentless energy into raw, permanent power, increasing his overall damage and keeping the pressure on the enemy all game long. And with Horizon Reach, Kane extends his attack range, letting him strike from further than anyone else—controlling fights from the safety of the backline.

Kane isn’t just a damage dealer—he’s the artillery that shapes the battlefield, forcing opponents to play on his terms. When Kane’s rockets are in the air, nowhere is safe.

STAY EPIC. STAY BRAVE.

Welcome to Week 189.

This week, we’re launching not just one but two major additions: the Copernicus Update, a free content update for all players, and The Great Hunts Campaigns, a premium paid expansion that introduces three new campaigns, 34 new missions, legendary weapons, and a host of exclusive items and rewards. Plus, we’re running a Double XP event this weekend.

Below, you’ll find a deeper dive into what the free Copernicus Update and the Great Hunts Campaign DLC each bring to the table.

Let’s get into it.

---

To coincide with the Copernicus and Great Hunts updates this weekend, we have a double XP Event. You’ll level up at twice the speed all weekend, until Monday NZ Time.

---

This week marks the release of our latest major update, Copernicus. This update deepens existing systems and gives users fresh reasons to return to Icarus.

Here's everything you get for free:

• 5 Legendary Weapons
  
• 8 Workshop Consumables
  
• 36 Crafted Items
  
• 1 Armor Set
  
• 1 Building Set
  
• 1 New Epoxy Recipe
  
• 78 New Achievements

At the core of Copernicus is a powerful new tier of boss-related gear. These items can only be crafted using resources harvested from world bosses - massive, high-risk enemies that now offer equally massive rewards.

Blueprints for these new items are now available as mission rewards across Olympus, Styx, and Prometheus. Missions will need to be replayed to gain these new rewards. Some standout additions include the intimidating Black Wolf Armor Set, exclusive planet-crafted modules for your envirosuit, and the deadly new Scorpion Crossbow.



Alongside these items, we’re introducing a new exotic currency: Legendary Biomass. This rare resource is dropped only by world bosses and plays a critical role in powering up one of the most exciting features of this update - Legendary Weapons.

Legendary Weapons are a top-tier class of gear, crafted exclusively in the orbital Biolab. These weapons can be taken down to the planet and customized through a powerful upgrade system. Each has four upgrade slots, and each slot offers three unique upgrade options.

Choose wisely - once you apply an upgrade, it's locked in.



If you want to try a different build, you’ll need to craft a fresh copy of the weapon. With four slots and three options each, every weapon offers up to 81 possible upgrade combinations.

To access Legendary Weapons, you’ll need a Legendary License, which is purchasable with a large amount of Ren. These weapons don’t just hit hard - they represent the apex of Icarus gear and bring a new level of endgame depth and experimentation to your loadout.

And finally, for the completionists, Copernicus also introduces 78 new achievements, spanning general gameplay, Prometheus (New Frontiers Expansion) content, and the update itself. Whether you're chasing milestones or just exploring what's new, there's plenty to uncover.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3315290/Icarus_Great_Hunts_Campaigns/
Great Hunts introduces three brand-new campaigns built around branching paths and meaningful choices that shape your experience. Multiple playthroughs are encouraged to see everything they have to offer. These campaigns are playable exclusively on open world maps, and your decisions have lasting effects—altering the environment, unlocking new mission opportunities, and even triggering the appearance of unique creatures across the map.

In total, the campaigns bring 34 brand new missions. These missions are tightly integrated into each campaign’s story and frequently culminate in high-stakes boss encounters. These all-new bosses appear in dedicated, instanced arenas separate from the regular map. These aren’t just more brutal fights - they’re cinematic, multi-phase battles designed to challenge experienced players and deliver some of the most epic moments in Icarus to date.

Completing missions rewards you with powerful gear, including unique Legendary Weapons tied to specific bosses and valuable blueprints to expand your crafting options. The update also introduces five new armor sets, each with distinct bonuses and visual styles to suit a variety of builds and playstyles.

And of course, scattered throughout the new content are new creatures to hunt, study, and survive against - bringing fresh surprises and challenges to the open world sandbox.

Let's dive into each campaign.



Set in the Olympus map, the Quarrite Campaign follows the emergence of strange underground creatures clashing with the native Caveworms. The story begins with the mysterious disappearance of miners at a remote base, leading you on a journey across Olympus to uncover the truth. Along the way, you’ll unlock two unique armor sets - the Caveworm Armor Set and the Carbonweave Armor Set - and gain access to 11 brand-new boss-exclusive items, including the Quarrite Gun, Drill Arrow, and Quarrite Grenade. You’ll engage in tense cave combat against both the new creatures and hostile Caveworms.

We culminate in an epic, multi-phase boss fight deep underground, where you’ll confront a massive and unstable Quarrite entity. Survive the encounter, and you’ll unlock the Legendary Weapon: Mining Armature—a powerful, upgradeable gauntlet originally engineered for heavy-duty mining, now reforged for combat. Completing the campaign also rewards you with two new character talent points to enhance your abilities.




Set on the Styx map, the Gargantuan Campaign begins with the urgent mission to track down escaped experiments wreaking havoc across the land. This adventure features 12 challenging missions leading to a showdown against a powerful boss. Along the way, you’ll encounter a unique new creature and discover 13 new items - including the Frenzy Tonic and Sonic Attractor - that provide fresh tactical options. You’ll also unlock the imposing Gargantuan Armor Set, designed for close-quarters combat. The campaign introduces a new workshop item and a growable plant: bananas.

We culminate in an epic, multi-phase boss fight against the formidable world boss, testing your skills and strategy to the limit. Survive the encounter to unlock the full potential of the Anti-Materiel Rifle, along with other valuable rewards that make the battle well worth it. Completing the campaign also rewards you with two new character talent points.




Set in the Prometheus region, the Rimetusk Campaign has you tracking down various terraforming enzyme creature experiments taking place across the map. This offers an intense adventure with 11 challenging missions culminating in a climactic battle against a legendary boss. Along the way, you’ll encounter two new creatures and discover 12 new items that expand your tactical options, including the Enzymic Mutation Ammo, Rimetusk Javelin, and Rimetusk Arctic Module. The campaign also rewards you with two unique armor sets - the Rimetusk Armor and the Arctic Survival Armor - designed to help you survive Prometheus’ harsh environment.

We culminate in an epic, multi-phase boss fight that will test your combat skills and strategy. Survive this fierce encounter, and you’ll unlock the full potential of the legendary Tactical Bow, along with other valuable rewards and two character talent points that make the challenge well worth it.
