'The Falconeer' (ALL) Also Coming to Xbox Series X - Screens & Trailer

The Falconeer is an ocean-world fantasy aerial combat RPG that combines classic dog fighting mechanics and acrobatic twists and turns with an awe-inspiring open environment and bestiary of fantastic enemies in land, sea, and air.

Set above The Great Ursee, a mystical world drowning in the corruption of the swollen oceans, players will take their armed aerial mounts in third person to the skies as a “Falconeer,” an airborne and agile warrior equipped with devastating ranged weaponry. Your mission as a Falconeer will be what you make it – be it the noble cause or the life of a rogue - each player experience will be unique as they explore the bleak and hauntingly beautiful world, filled with wonderous locations and warmongering rival factions vying for the mysterious secrets hidden at the Ursee's unfathomable depths.

Fans of aerial combat will be treated to a fluid and eye-catching open world experience. Majestic mounts control fluidly and freely with graceful flight, just as their bird of prey counterparts, giving players a sense of freedom and awe whilst being truly immersed in the Ursee’s simultaneously epic and hypnotic soundscape.


Wired Productions and independent developer Tomas Sala announced that The Falconeer will release day one on Xbox Series X. 

The Falconeer will support a minimum of 4K resolution at 60 frames per second and will dazzle your eyes with glorious High Dynamic Range. Smart Delivery will also be enabled to ensure you can play The Falconeer on your favorite Xbox console.

The Falconeer Day One Edition ($39.99 / €39.99 / £34.990 is also available to pre-order at all good retailers, and includes a custom reversible sleeve, lenticular card, sticker sheet, a digital download of the Official Game Soundtrack and a digital Game Guide.

“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.”

“Working on the Xbox Series X has been a terrific experience,” said Tomas Sala, the sole developer of The Falconeer. “My focus – my passion – is to create worlds that aren't just epic landscapes and backdrops but are dangerous and haunting places. Where the action ties you to the fabric of these worlds. Time spent with the Xbox Series X has allowed me to harness the creative and technical power to take the player on a wondrous journey into such worlds, straight from my imagination, free from limitations.”

The Falconeer is set to take flight on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and PC in 2020.
