Bulwark Evolution: Falconeer Chronicles is an upcoming open-world builder with a steampunk twist. At the centre of this 3D sandbox is the player’s ability to build anything they want, from fortresses to trading hubs.
We can’t wait to play Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles when it drops on March 26th which is why we’ve put together this blog post highlighting everything you need to know. From gameplay deets and official PC specs to our top PC recs.
Build Your Very Own Bulwark
In this vibrant new world builder, you’ll have complete freedom at your fingertips, allowing you to build anything you desire. From sprawling towns, spires, fearsome fortresses, trading hubs, to grounds for conquest. Anything you want in your Bulwark, you can build it.
The world has been shattered by those who came before you. You’ll need to completely reforge the last remaining settlement on the Great Ursee. Scavenge for resources to grow your settlement to expand its population and skyline.
For your settlement to thrive, you’ll need to create trade routes and build alliances with other factions. Arming your Bulwark with powerful Captains and Commanders will protect your settlement from ancient enemies and aid in further exploration.
Explore an Open-World
In the huge expansive open-world, you can explore every corner of the Ursee as you hunt down precious resources and forge alliances with factions. There is opportunity lurking everywhere and it’s up to you to discover it.
Create Without Limits
What’s more, there is also a dedicated ‘Freebuild Mode’. With no conflicts and challenges, you are free to unleash your creativity. There are no limits on gameplay or required resources and upgrade parts, allowing you to build the Bulwark of your dreams.
The building mechanics have been inspired by powerful 3D modelling software and kitbashing, to deliver an immersive building experience. All of which you can do to the backdrop of an eclectic soundtrack, created by award-winning composer Benedict Nichols.
Does Bulwark Evolution: Falconeer Chronicles Include Multiplayer?
Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles will be released as a single-player game. However, who knows? Maybe a cheeky update in the future will include support for multiplayer. We can hope.
Is Bulwark Evolution: Falconeer Chronicles a PC Exclusive?
Bulwark Evolution: Falconeer Chronicles will be available on play on multiple different platforms. This includes PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, XBOX One, and XBOX Series X/S.
Evolving a Bulwark
Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles is solely developed by Tomas Sala, and it is constantly evolving to fit the players’ needs. New updates have been pushed live – including a giant crab that does massive damage – and with what is essentially the v1.0 mark comes a rebrand. To fully showcase the ever evolving nature of the game, it is now called Bulwark Evolution: Falconeer Chronicles.
In a quote from Tomas Sala, he said:
You cannot get someone like me to run an Early Access campaign, I don’t even know at launch where the game is gonna end up in 6 months, it’d be a disaster. And here we are 5 months after launch and I’m still working away as if every week is a new launch. The driver for this is community engagement. Folks coming in and fantasising what the game could and should be, or sharing their frustration where the game doesn’t mix their expectations. This has been a learning experience for me. Ever since my days modding (Moonpath to Elsweyr), I’ve been looking at a way to get back to a more communal form of development. I don’t like premade systems and settled expectations, thus first the evolving demo and now Bulwark Evolution came about. My own way of creating a workable relationship with my audience and community, something modern, flexible and rapidly evolving, where updates come daily not monthly and communication is direct and without intermediates. Bulwark Evolution isn’t the endgame; for me, it marks what I consider as close to a 1.0 version as I can deliver, but it’s just another jumping-off point.
We are excited to see where this game is heading!
