The Falconeer, an open-world air combat RPG in which players pilot a giant, weaponised bird, is said to feature “frenetic” aerial dog fights and “deep exploration” of the game’s mysterious world, The Great Ursee. The game, which was developed by the aforementioned Sala, will feature 4K resolution and 60 FPS gameplay.

It’ll also make use of Xbox’s Smart Delivery system, meaning players who purchase either the physical or digital version of the game on Xbox One will be able to play it on XSX at no extra cost, with all progress carrying over to the new platform.

“Having worked closely with the Xbox team over the past year, The Falconeer has found a natural home on the Series X,” said Leo Zullo, Managing Director, Wired Productions.

“It’s a technological marvel that, coupled with Tomas’ passion and genius, constantly astounds us. With Smart  Delivery, we’re ensuring fans get the best version of The Falconeer on any Xbox at no extra cost.”

The Facloneer is out sometime this winter on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and PC via Steam. 

A special Day One Edition is currently available to pre-order for £34.99 / $39.99 / €39.99, and includes a reversible sleeve, lenticular card, stickers, and digital editions of the game’s soundtrack and guide.
