WARDOGS to launch in Early Access on September 10

Bulkhead and Team17 have announced that the tactical FPS WARDOGS will launch in Early Access on Steam on September 10, 2026. The game features 100-player matches split across three teams competing for control of zones in a destructible Eastern European industrial setting.

Key gameplay elements include a mix of infantry and vehicle combat, combined-arms tactics, and an in-game economy where player decisions and survival directly impact their virtual bank accounts. The economy dictates available equipment and risks.

At launch, the game will offer three maps with three variations each. A closed beta weekend is scheduled for August 21–23, 2026, which players can access by pre-ordering the title. The Early Access price is set at $39.99, with the developers focusing on stability, performance, and community feedback during this phase.
