The Festering Skies DLC tasks players with taking on the biggest and baddest challenges to hit Phoenix Point, including an aerial Pandoran threat. Players battle on the ground as usual, but new foibles in air combat open up new conflicts. The Behemoth is the ultimate opponent, ready to annihilate mankind forever if left unopposed.
