WARDOGS

Wardogs, the tactical sandbox shooter developed by Bulkhead and published by Team17, made a record-breaking debut on Steam Early Access in September 2026, selling over a million copies in the first 24 hours and reaching peaks of over 300,000 concurrent players. The game features large-scale battles with up to 100 players divided into three teams, fighting for control of an area within a 256 km² map, combining construction mechanics and total environmental destruction. The most innovative aspect is its persistent economy, where money earned or lost in one match carries over to the next, adding a layer of financial risk to tactical decisions.

With such a successful launch, Wardogs has quickly positioned itself as a serious contender in the military shooter genre, promising a two-year Early Access development period ahead of a full release and console versions planned for 2028.
