Debut Gameplay for Guns of Icarus Online Alliance for PlayStation 4

Muse Games has shared the first gameplay for Guns of Icarus Alliance on PlayStation 4.

Featured above, the first gameplay for the game’s PlayStation 4 version shows off the game’s PlayStation 4 build, which the team is going to support alongside its original PC, Mac, and Linux release.

Here’s a rundown on the game:


Guns of Icarus Alliance is the expanded and definitive edition of Muse’s flagship title Guns of Icarus Online, the original player-vs-player steampunk airship combat game. Alliancefeatures all of the content from the original title, but with the addition of player-vs-environment cooperative experiences, an ongoing war between six elite factions vying for control of a world ravaged by machines, and an ever-changing world that is constantly being shaped and reshaped by the players. With a good ship and the right crew, you can conquer the skies – and maybe even the world!

Key Features:

  • The ultimate co-op experience
    Players can take on the roles of pilots, gunners and engineers, working together as a single unit to maximize their airship’s effectiveness and own the skies. You won’t be told to stay still and not die while a veteran preserves their Kill/Death ratio. In Guns of Icarus Alliance, you are forced to work together. It’s an entirely interdependent gameplay experience that cannot be won by a single crew member.

  • Your crew versus the world
    Take your airship and crew, and pit them against a huge variety of AI-controlled challenges, including escort missions, convoy raids, base assaults, and more.

  • AI that learns
    The AI won’t take defeat lying down. Dynamic learning systems mean that every battle will teach the AI what tactics you use, increasing the challenge with every fight.

  • Pit crew against crew
    In addition to AI-controlled missions, airship crews can also battle one-on-one against other human-crewed opponents.

  • Every battle matters
    Rival factions are in a constant battle of wills to take and retain territory and control vital resources. Every victory and defeat will sway the tides of the larger war.

  • Become a legend
    The story of Guns of Icarus Alliance is constantly being written based on the results of online gameplay. Achieve a key victory and your name may become part of the lore!

  • A vivid steampunk world
    Lumbering, heavily-armored airships bristling with guns patrol the skies above a land ravaged beyond repair by an out-of-control industrial revolution.

  • Build your own airship
    Starting from a selection of basic hulls, players can mix and match hundreds of custom parts to create their own unique airship, then assemble a crew to fly it.

  • Your ship is your life
    Your ship is your collective life bar – when the ship goes down, the crew goes down with it. Every member of the crew plays an integral role in not only maintaining the integrity – “life” – of the ship, but also weakening the integrity of enemy ships as they work cooperatively towards a shared victory.


Guns of Icarus Online Alliance is launching as a free-to-play game sometime early next year, for PlayStation 4. It’s currently available for PC, Mac, and Linux via Steam.
