Developer Tomas Sala has officially released the Colossal Update for Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles bringing significant structural and tactical changes to the game across Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. This update arrives alongside two distinct DLC packs, expanding the available building options and unit variety for players currently engaged in the title's strategic world-building.
New Content and Structural Improvements
The core of this release focuses on providing players with greater creative freedom and tactical depth. The Colossal Update introduces the Behemoth surveyor unit, which changes how players interact with the map. Furthermore, the construction system has been overhauled to allow for the creation of curved walls. These structures now feature no restrictions regarding their type, length, or specific angle, enabling more complex base designs than were previously possible.
Alongside these free updates, two paid DLC packs are now available to further customize the experience:
- Medieval Houses DLC: Adds six new timber-clad house designs to the game.
- Verne Bannerless DLC: Introduces three new units, specifically the Bannerless Corsair warbird, the Verne Missile ship, and the Piranha Fast airship.
Technical and Strategic Impact
The update ensures that Xbox players now maintain feature parity with the PC version of the game. Beyond the visual and unit additions, the combat mechanics have undergone a significant revision. Players will encounter more versatile enemy AI, and new formation commands have been implemented to allow for more precise control during engagements. Additionally, the update enables players to sail any ship currently assigned to an owned trade route, streamlining logistics and exploration.

These changes represent a substantial shift in how players can approach both the defensive and offensive aspects of the game. By removing previous limitations on wall construction and adding specialized units, the update provides a more flexible environment for long-term base management. Players can access these updates immediately across all supported platforms, with the base game remaining available at its standard price point of $19.99.
