Here is a quick recap, for those that missed, of a few stories NGN covered this past week. This past week saw the cinematic puzzle game Ourea and the difficult platform shooter COSMOS release on PC. Rogue-lite survival horror TOXICANT jumped into early access and Othercide has some bonuses for those who pre-order before this coming week’s release. Plus there was more on the Xbox Series X side with the dual-reality trailer for The Medium.

Having worked closely with the Xbox team over the past year, The Falconeer has found a natural home on the Series X. It’s a technological marvel that, coupled with Tomas’ passion and genius, constantly astounds us.

The Falconeer Day One Edition is also available to pre-order which includes a custom reversible sleeve, lenticular card, sticker sheet, a digital download of the official soundtrack and a digital game guide.

Working on the Xbox Series X has been a terrific experience. 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 heading to Steam for PC as well as the Xbox Series X and Xbox One consoles in 2020. PC players can add the game to their Steam wishlist on the game’s Steam page. More information about the game can be found at thefalconeer.com.
