As for what the new edition update brings:

• Completely overhauled visuals: rebuilt environments, redesigned warbirds, new lighting systems, and fully dynamic illumination that brings the skies of the Ursee to life.
• Refined flight controls: experience a smoother, faster, and more responsive aerial combat.
• Rebalanced missions: smarter enemies, faster pacing, and more epic encounters.
• The Edge of the World DLC: fully integrated into the base game, now remastered to the same high standard.
• Expanded lore and world: new settlements, visual storytelling, and subtle narrative updates deepen the Ursee’s mystery.
• Improved controls: a reworked single control scheme providing a more intuitive experience for players on mouse and keyboard.
• And More: New cosmetic armour sets and expanded voice acting.

Speaking about dropping the Native Linux version the developer said: "The native Linux option has been removed. It's simply [too] much for me to support additional platforms for two games. The game runs good on Proton 9 and for now that is the official support. I hope Linux players can understand that for a Solodev there are constraints."

It's currently rated Steam Deck Verified by Valve and this release also came with some specific Steam Deck improvements too like a reduction in shadow quality, a new downsampling option and other performance adjustments and improvements.
