Define the word “bulwark”. According to the Oxford dictionary, it’s a noun, with the meaning “a defensive wall” or “an extension of a ship’s sides above the level of the deck”. Indie developer Tomas Sala’s title of the same name, is now available for the Xbox Series S|X and the Playstation 4 & 5 as Bulwark: Evolution. Having previously being available on Steam, the game is now also available on additional PC platforms such as GOG, Epic Store and Utomik.

This major free update, which has already been successfully launched on Steam, brings a new layer of depth, strategy, and innovative gameplay mechanics to the immersive world of Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles.

Following extensive feedback from players, Bulwark: Evolution now features three distinct ways to play with each mode providing a unique experience:

  • The Original Bulwark Experience: Players will explore the Great Ursee as they build their grand civilisation, scavenge for resources, create trade routes, and form alliances with other factions scattered across the waves.
  • Freebuild Mode: Create without consequence in this cosy mode, free from the conflict and challenges of standard play, where players can experiment and build without limits.
  • Total Conquest: The beacons are lit, and the fires of war are here! In this challenging new mode, players start Bulwark at war with every possible faction. There’s no diplomacy and the frequency and scale of raids is like nothing they’ve ever seen before. Building alone won’t suffice — players will need grit, determination and strategic know-how in order to survive the onslaught of the Great Ursee.

Console gamers can grab Bulwark: Evolution at a 45% discount starting October 9th on Xbox and PlayStation stores. For strategy fans looking for a unique blend of city-building and naval warfare in a fantastical ocean world, Bulwark: Evolution offers an enticing and expanded experience across multiple platforms. Will you conquer the Great Ursee or be swept away by its turbulent waters? The choice is yours!
