Developed by Bulkhead and published by Team17, Wardogs is a first-person shooter that emphasizes combined arms combat. The game pits three teams against each other in a militaristic sandbox environment. Each team can field up to 100 players, creating massive engagements that require coordination and strategy. The core loop blends tactical gunplay with building and destruction mechanics to reshape the battlefield in real time.

The game launches on PC via Steam Early Access for $40. Players can access the title immediately on the platform, where it has already reached over 340,000 concurrent users. The maps are expansive, spanning roughly 2.5 miles to accommodate the large player counts. This scale allows for diverse combat scenarios and supports the game's focus on large-scale warfare.

Bulkhead describes Wardogs as an all-out warfare FPS that combines tactical gunplay and combined arms combat with building and destruction mechanics in a large-scale militaristic sandbox. The game has already claimed the number one spot on the Steam US charts for sales. While the PC version is available now, the developers have confirmed a console release on Xbox is scheduled for sometime in 2028. The extended timeline indicates a careful development strategy or a long-term release plan for the title.

Wardogs has established itself as a significant new entry in the tactical shooter market. Strong initial sales on Steam Early Access reflect the effectiveness of the developer's large-scale combat design. The title is available on PC now, with an Xbox release scheduled for 2028.
