WarDogs does not yet have a confirmed release date, but the game is currently expected to launch on PC following its official reveal later in 2026. Below, we break down everything known so far about the WarDogs release window, supported platforms, gameplay details, trailers, and the latest updates from the developers.
Inspired by Arma 3’s community-made King of the Hill mod and set in the “derelict industrial mountains of Eastern Europe,” Wardogs pits up to 100 players across three teams in a fight for control zones and cash. Teamplay is central to long-term success, while a destructible battlefield promises a hefty dose of chaos.
Wardogs Release Date
Wardogs’ full version doesn’t currently have a set release date; however, publisher Team17 and developer Bulkhead have confirmed it is slated to enter Steam Early Access sometime in 2026.

Wardogs Gameplay
Wardogs’ multiplayer matches unfold over its sprawling 256km² map, with three teams duking it out for control of “a randomized 2x2km central ‘Control Zone’“. The team with the most players within the control zone earns points. Whoever reaches 100 points first wins the match.
As straightforward as it sounds, Wardogs’ gameplay has plenty more depth to it. Most notably, our efforts are powered by a robust cash system that will require us to carefully weigh our decisions on the battlefield.
“Each life, you purchase a custom loadout from a wide selection of weapons, gear, utility items, and vehicles to help your team win the match,” the developer explains.
“Every teamplay action in the Control Zone rewards cash from reviving squadmates, transporting friendlies to the zone, or controlling the objective.”
Spending cash at the right time and in the right way can turn battles around, according to the developer.
Although teamplay is instrumental to winning matches, Wardogs supports a variety of playstyles. Fighting as an effective squad is guaranteed to yield results, but a lone sniper covering other soldiers from afar could prove just as important in certain situations.
Hanging back to fortify or repair structures gives allies a place to retreat, while supporting operations with vehicles like helicopters and tanks can also make a difference.
The studio’s proprietary War Dynamics Framework is built on Unreal Engine, enabling both destruction and base building, adding another layer of variables to its battles.
Wardogs Price & Platforms
Wardogs’ price is still under wraps, but it is confirmed to be lower during early access. As for platforms, PC is the only one announced so far. It could come to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S after its PC launch.
