Guns of Icarus Online will be having another closed beta test starting at noon Eastern on Friday the 20th of July. The test session will run through until Sunday night. If you saw the game previously, come on by and see the changes! If you haven't seen it yet we'd love to get you a preview code. Game is still set for release in August! Information at www.gunsoficarus.com or see the video at http://gunsoficarus.com/media/videos/gameplay-trailer-2/

This updated version will contain major graphical improvements, huge bug fixes regarding client and sever side performance, balance, and scalable UI. It will also be the first version to incorporate Engineer "Buff" tools, which are used to give temporary boosts to ship components before and during battle, making sure the engineer has things to do even when the ship is undamaged. To top it off we have improved and fixed ramming, which now (hopefully) accurately applies physics of the collision - use it intelligently and you can send your opponent sailing into a wall! Oh and no more ramming people with your balloon, all you get from doing that is now a popped balloon :)
