New game from the creator of DayZ will be a session survivor.

Dean Hall shared the details of the ambitious project!

Basically, players will have to do things familiar to the genre: collect resources, create tools and build buildings. However, Hall was heavily guided by Fortnite and Escape from Tarkov , in which session constraints give structure to the gameplay. 

GameSpot reporters talked to DayZ creator Dean Hall about his new game Icarus , and even had a chance to play its early build for about an hour. 

A feature of the project will be that it will be the first session project in the survival genre . Players in the role of an astronaut will land in various other worlds (the journalists of the publication note that these other worlds are most similar to Yosemite National Park in California), where they will need to complete some tasks in a limited time.

Of the new games, Dean also noted the similarities to Valheim : "Icarus is like Valheim in space in the first person ," he said. This similarity is that, like Valheim , you don't have to constantly worry about survival. Dying in the game is quite difficult, especially in co-op. However, according to the head of development, it will be comfortable to play alone.
