WARDOGS Launches Early Access This September...
And Why You Shouldn't Buy It!
WARDOGS has been on my radar since I read a press release in May announcing BULKHEAD and TEAM17's new game WARDOGS coming to early access in 2026. I was lucky enough to get accepted into their closed alpha, and so far my experience with the game and community has been nothing but a great time that brought me back to memories of the old Arma 2/3 KOTH lobbies I played.
Team17
WARDOGS is a TACTICAL ALL OUT WARFARE FPS where one hundred players split across three teams fight over the control zone. Set in the derelict industrial mountains of Eastern Europe on a destructible battlefield where teamwork pays and cash is king.
Today, their amazing CM LOSSY shared that early access for WARDOGS will be happening on the 10th of September, 2026 and can be pre-purchased now on Steam for $39.99USD for the base game or support the devs with the Supporter Edition for $49.99USD!
The Supporter Pack includes;
- 3 ‘Starter Weapon’ Camos;
- Valkyra Branded A-91 Rifle Camo
- Lonestar Branded Bushmaster Camo
- Manticore Branded KH-2002 Camo
- Littlebird Helicopter ‘Taxi’ Camo
- Supporter Icon on scoreboard (can be hidden in settings)
- Grenade Bobblehead
- Helmet Bobblehead
Now, if that doesn't make you want to check out WARDOGS, they released a video on 10 Reasons NOT to Buy. Wait... Not to buy?
So there you have it! 10 reasons why you should NOT buy WARDOGS, but for me, this game is going to be a great experience for those KOTH vets looking for a new battlefront to play on, and you can experience their closed beta on the 21st of August, 2026 with your preorder and if you don't like it...You can refund it!
Their words, not mine!
