The Falconeer: Revolution Remaster Comes to Xbox Series X|S on 2 December

The Falconeer: Revolution Remaster is coming to Xbox Series X|S on 2 December, six years after the original launched alongside the console. Wired Productions and BAFTA-nominated solo developer Tomas Sala announced it today, 10 November, on the sixth anniversary of that 2020 Xbox launch. The remaster is priced at £15.99 / $19.99, and existing owners can upgrade from $2.99.

What’s new in the remaster

The Falconeer: Revolution Remaster is an open-world aerial combat game in which you ride a warbird across the oceanic world of the Ursee, taking on missions for rival factions and piecing together its history. You still work through multiple campaigns, protecting ships, diving beneath the waves and facing threats that include pirates, kraken and the Mancer Order.

Sala has rebuilt that world with new technology: overhauled environments, redesigned warbirds, enhanced lighting and dynamic illumination. Flight controls have been refined to feel smoother and more responsive, and missions have been rebalanced with smarter enemies and a faster pace. There are new settlements and more environmental storytelling, plus new cosmetic armour sets and expanded voice acting. The Edge of the World expansion is included, and has been remastered to the same standard.

Xbox price, upgrade and Store details

The remaster is a Series X|S game, and it is Xbox Play Anywhere, so one purchase covers Xbox Series X|S and the Xbox app on PC. The original Falconeer launched on 10 November 2020 as an Xbox Series X|S launch title, and it was also available on Xbox One the same day. That original version remains on the Store as a separate listing. Today’s announcement is timed to the sixth anniversary, with the remaster itself following on 2 December.

Wired says existing owners can upgrade from $2.99. A UK upgrade price has not been published, and the Xbox Store page is already live but does not yet show a buy button, a pre-order or an upgrade offer.

The remaster is not on Game Pass, and it has not been listed as coming soon. The original joined Game Pass on 4 February 2021 and left on 15 February 2022.

The Falconeer was nominated for Debut Game at the 2021 BAFTA Games Awards. Wired has also published Sala’s later games Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles and ShipShaper.
