Wired Productions have announced and released Atun’s Folly, a free content update for Tomas Sala’s aerial combat RPG, The Falconeer.

Atun’s Folly is a new pirated-themed update, and allows players to become a privateer; looting merchants and convoys they encounter in The Great Ursee. Alternatively, you can hunt down pirates in a new series of story quests. There is also the new Atun’s Folly location, a pirate settlement on the back of a giant turtle, as well as new mini-bosses, legendary aces, and the Pirate Magnetar Rifle.

You can find the rundown on the base game (via GamersGate) below:

FROM THE CLOUDS THEY DIVE, THE SCREAMS OF BATTLE IN THEIR LUNGS…
Generations of poisonous decisions and treason swirl in the deep, as factions collide.

Become the Falconeer and soar through the skies aboard a devastatingly powerful Warbird. Uncover secrets lost to the sea as you join or oppose different factions and clans scattered throughout The Great Ursee. Take advantage of multiple Falconeer classes with individual stats, weapons and warbirds that can be upgraded through winning battles, completing quests, discovering secrets, or applying Mutagens or Chants. Use ocean thermals and energy to dive, dodge, barrel-roll, and twist to gain an advantage.

The Falconeer is an open-world air combat game, featuring fast, brutal aerial dogfights and deep exploration of an incredible fantasy open-world set not only above the clouds but also amongst the waves and down through the sunken, ocean depths.

EXPLORE AND FLY
The Great Ursee is an ancient place, filled with beautifully detailed locations to find and explore, not only above the clouds, but also below the waves. Discover sparks of order and civilization as well as wild and dangerous coasts filled with treasure, pirates, lost technology and amazing creatures.

FAST, BRUTAL DOGFIGHTING
Combat in the Falconeer is fast, brutal and devastating. The unique abilities of Warbirds allow for an unparalleled level of control and movability, creating epic fights with mounted enemies such as War Falcons, Weaver dragons, Mantarays and Razorbeetles.

FACTIONS
The rich and powerful yield fleets of airships and Falconeers to protect their assets, while revolution and dissent are brewing among the downtrodden and poor. Join and support your faction, flying missions that may change the fate of your comrades as well as yourself.

MULTIPLE EPIC STORYLINES
Choose your unique character’s origin story, and build an unbreakable bond between player and bird, through one of multiple playable campaigns, encompassed by a world packed with side quests and free-flying exploration you won’t want to miss!

UPGRADED WINGS
Purchase new weapons, armour, cosmetics, and mutagens to perfect your mount – whatever the cost.

The Falconeer is available on Windows PC (via GamersGate, GOG, and Steam), Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
