One of the more interesting Xbox console exclusives to launch last year was The Falconeer, an absolutely gorgeous aerial combat game from single developer Tomas Sala, which sets players on the back of several legendary flying mounts to fight across varied landscapes. The Falconeer has enjoyed decent post-launch support since its initial release, and is now preparing to launch its biggest DLC yet. Edge of the World expands the world of The Falconeer, and it's heading to Xbox and PC on Aug. 5, 2021.

You can check out the Xbox and PC announcement trailer for the Edge of the World DLC, and read more about the upcoming expansion, down below.

The Edge of the World DLC for The Falconeer adds a ton of new content to this intriguing dogfighting adventure game, and may give players a reason to return (or play for the first time). Some of the highlighting features of Edge of the World include:

  • Three new mini-campaigns with a total of nine new missions between them, including:
    • Visiting the exotic Mongress Mawsprings
    • Investigating long-lost expeditions through ancient ruins
    • Recovering an ancient relic from the grasp of an ominous threat
  • Take flight on two new Legendary Ace classes, complete with new mounts, including:
    • The Arbiter, which flies with a Fenix
    • The Corsair, which flies with a Pteron
  • Use a new weapon with the Imperial Shocklance, which deals electric area-of-effect damage to multiple enemies
  • Take advantage of a newly increased level cap, which rises from 20 to 24

The Edge of the World DLC for The Falconeer releases on Aug. 5 for Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One, and PC, and will retail for $8 USD. You can play The Falconeer through Xbox Game Pass right now if you want to experience the base game, and even grab a nice discount on DLC. Edge of the World is also coming to PlayStation and Switch devices, but will be included in the Warrior Edition when it launches on Aug. 5.

With several post-launch updates and an imminent major expansion, The Falconeer stands a chance of being elevated to our list of best Xbox games.
