Quick Answer: What Is WARDOGS?

WARDOGS is a tactical all-out-warfare FPS by BULKHEAD (the studio behind Battalion 1944), published by Team17, released into Steam Early Access for Windows on September 10, 2026. One hundred players split across three mercenary teams — LONESTAR, VALKYRA and MANTICORE — fight over one Control Zone on 16×16 km battlefields, with destructible buildings, combined-arms vehicles and a persistent cash economy where progression is money and every loadout is rented for one life.

The Core Loop in One Paragraph

Deploy from your $10,000 balance into a randomized 2×2 km Control Zone drawn from a 256 km² map. Capture towers, collect their code digits, haul cash and matériel into the zone, and fight the other two companies for the scoreboard — with buildings that collapse, vehicles that swing the fight, and a loadout you lose if you die. Survive and the earnings carry to your next match; the season ends with a wipe and everyone climbs again.
