Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles Set to Launch in March
Hey there, fellow gamers! Exciting news on the horizon – Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles is set to take flight on March 26th! Developed by Tomas Sala and published by Wired Productions, this highly anticipated game is coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC. But hold onto your controllers, because there’s even more to get hyped about!
A New Genre Takes Flight
Prepare for a thrilling departure from the aerial combat genre that The Falconeer introduced us to. Bulwark catapults us into a whole new realm as an open world settlement builder and strategy game. Don’t worry, though – you’ll still be surrounded by the tempestuous waters of the Great Ursee, where every structure you build will cling precariously to cliff edges and teeter on the precipice above raging seas.
Captains, Trade Routes, and Defenses
In Bulwark, you’ll take on the role of a master strategist, responsible for setting up trade routes and assigning Captains to oversee operations. As you construct command towers with dockyards, be prepared to fortify your settlements with walls, gates, and other defenses to repel attacks from rival factions. The game retains the distinctive minimalist style of The Falconeer, seamlessly blending procedural elements to create a cohesive experience.
Experience the Evolving Demo
If you’re eager to dive into this exciting new world, you’re in luck! An ‘evolving demo’ was previously available on Steam, allowing developer Tomas Sala to iterate on ideas and introduce new elements over time. But mark your calendars for January 30th when a brand-new demo will be released across all platforms, giving players the chance to engage in one complete scenario and grow their settlements with up to 15 buildings. Keep in mind, though, that late-game elements like Wonders, Leaders, and other factions will only be accessible upon the game’s full launch.
A Glimpse into the Origins
Curious about the origins of this captivating world? If you haven’t already, it’s worth checking out our review of The Falconeer. Jason, one of our talented writers, shared his thoughts on the game, saying, “I find myself a little perplexed by The Falconeer. I still thoroughly enjoyed my time with the game, but it almost felt like I was doing so in spite of how I felt about the gameplay. I do think The Falconeer is going to find an audience that loves it wholeheartedly, but also that there will be plenty of others for whom this falls a bit flat too.”
