WARDOGS Wiki: Release Date, Gameplay & Guides
WARDOGS is a 100-player tactical FPS developed by BULKHEAD and published by Team17. It enters Steam Early Access on September 10, 2026. This independent wiki separates confirmed facts from plans and links every major topic to a focused guide.
What is WARDOGS?
WARDOGS is an All-Out Warfare first-person shooter built around a large, destructible battlefield. Up to 100 players split across three teams and fight to control a randomized 2x2 km scoring zone.
The official game name is written as one word: WARDOGS. Searches for “War Dogs game” or “War Dogs video game” often refer to this title, but it is unrelated to the similarly named film.
Release, platforms and beta status
Steam Early Access for Windows PC is scheduled for September 10, 2026. The August 21-23 Closed Beta is guaranteed with a Steam pre-purchase, while a native Steam Playtest request offers a limited random chance.
PS5 and Xbox dates have not been announced. Everplay published a broader multi-platform full-release target for 2027, but current Team17 material names Steam only.
Gameplay at a glance
Every player starts with $10,000 and buys a custom loadout for each life. Cash can be earned through combat, revives, transportation and objective play, then persists between matches.
Official descriptions confirm helicopters, heavily armoured tanks, artillery tanks, construction, destruction, proximity voice chat, ghillie-suit sniping and rocket launchers. Fighter jets are a planned Early Access addition rather than confirmed launch-day content.
How this wiki verifies information
Release, pricing and system requirements are checked against Steam. Platform listings are compared with Team17, while developer and technology claims are checked against BULKHEAD and Everplay.
Planned features are labeled as plans, and missing details are left unconfirmed. That matters before release, when community lists and search snippets can outlive the announcement they copied.
