The Biggest Free Expansion for Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles Is Out Now

Bulwark Behemoth Update is live and free, bringing the largest set of additions yet to Tomas Sala’s ocean-world city-builder.

Behemoth Update — Trailer

What’s new in Behemoth

• Upgradable Surveyors: visual + gameplay upgrades expand late-game reach.
• The Behemoth Surveyor: a massive, heavily armed flagship—lose it and it’s gone for good.
• Entagon Subterfuge Events: espionage and sabotage tools to recruit enemy commanders, capture settlements, and dismantle defenses.
• Arbology Towers: Freebooter splinter-tech that lets you re-green the Ursee with forest growth.
• Curved Wall Segments: new curved walls and gates across material tiers for better defenses and prettier skylines.

Feature set confirmed via official materials.

How to unlock the Behemoth (quick guide)

1. Find the Master of Ammunitions (Silent Sea): Sail to the Silent Sea and talk to the Master of Ammunitions to start the unlock quest.
2. Commission the Behemoth Surveyor: Complete the short task to receive your flagship; it has three upgrade tiers.
3. Upgrade at Mechanics: With a Mechanic installed, use the upgrade interface to purchase surveyor upgrades (including Behemoth tiers).
4. One-loss stakes: If the Behemoth is destroyed, it’s gone for good in that run—plan your battles.

Enjoying Behemoth? Consider grabbing one of the tiny cosmetic/supporter DLCs on Steam—small purchases that help fund ongoing development.

“Behemoth is perhaps the last big update of this type that can be done as the Ursee, once a lonely place, is filling up rapidly with new challenges, new buildings and features.”
