Hey everyone,

We hope you've been enjoying the recent blogs about the upcoming Naval Command Update, we have some exciting news about when you can expect to play it as well as some new screens, a personal thank you from Tomas, and more! Let's get started!

The Naval Update



So first of all, get hyped - the Naval Update will be dropping onto your public Beta access branches on 13th August! We don't have a SOLID date for the full on release yet until we've seen how you react to the beta branch - but mark the date down in your calendars!

Naval Update Preview



Just to get you warmed up to the idea of what to expect - Tomas sat down and played with it to demonstrate the new features in an early iteration, and talk through the differences to the Bulwark play experience that you can expect. Put the kettle on and set aside 30 minutes so you can hit the water running on the 13th.

New Naval Update Screens



It wouldn't be an update without some shiny new Ursee eye candy - so here's some new screens fresh from Tomas PC for you to admire!













Thank You Surveyors



Moving on from the Naval Update for a moment. We had a little peek at the player counts across Bulwark and The Falconeer, taking into account all of you who have played on Console, the cloud, downloaded on services such as Gamepass, and of course - the hardcore who have been part of our beta tests since day one.



Turns out that there are over 2 Million of you across both games and all platforms combined. Which is WILD!!

It is every developers ambition to take an idea they've had in their head and see people resonate with it the world over, and the fact that over the course Tomas creation of The Falconeer Universe, from a aerial dogfighting RPG on Xbox, to an evolving sandbox builder - so many of you have joined into the fantasy, shared your creations and helped spread the word of this unusual series - is just mind blowing.

As a little thank you - Tomas is currently putting together a free unit DLC pack containing some new trade ships that you'll be able to recruit and set to work. No set date on these, but we'll keep you updated!

Naval Update Patch Notes



Wrapping things up here on this mini update - we know there's more than a few of you that like reading the nuts and bolts and raw numbers of how the game world is changing - so here's the update notes for what to expect for those of you that like to see behind the curtain. WARNING! It's Long!

  • attacking enemies will retreat back to the rally point after a few minutes and reform

  • floating items don't bounce when unpausing
