The Falconeer turns five years old next week, and ahead of that its developer Tom Sala has put in the work for a pretty big update. Update undersells it a touch I think, because it’s being billed as a full-on remaster, complete with a touched up look, and plenty of mechanical changes. So, let’s detail those details!
Slightly serious one here folks! The studio behind Blue Prince, one of this year’s best received games, is asking for some help for one of their lead playtesters, Matthew “Iggy” Kowalski. As shared on Bluesky, Iggy has polycystic kidney disease, leaving him with only a few months to find a living kidney donor.

I know, I know, change is difficult isn’t it? It upset me just the other day that YouTube has changed videos so that they have rounded corners instead of being perfectly rectangular.
