What is WARDOGS?

A 100-player, three-team tactical FPS from BULKHEAD (published by Team17). Teams fight over a randomized 2x2km "Control Zone" in a King of the Hill-style mode, with destructible terrain, vehicles and a cash-and-XP economy where every player starts with $10,000. It launched into Steam Early Access on September 10, 2026, with BULKHEAD expecting roughly 1-2 years in Early Access before a full 1.0 release.

Uses Easy Anti-Cheat, which runs at kernel level, standard for competitive multiplayer FPS games but worth knowing if you're privacy-conscious or plan to run it on Linux/Steam Deck (compatibility currently Unknown).
