Move over, Battle Royale—WARDOGS is here to reclaim the tactical shooter throne. Published by Team17 and developed by the newly independent BULKHEAD (the creators of Battalion 1944), this 100-player FPS just dropped its announcement trailer and it’s looking like the modern successor to Battlefield we’ve been waiting for.

What is WARDOGS?

Inspired by the legendary Arma 3 “King of the Hill” mod, WARDOGS throws three rival teams into a massive 256km² Eastern European sandbox. Forget shrinking circles and extraction zones; here, it’s all about holding the Control Zone.

Key Features:

Three-Way Warfare: 100 players split into three distinct teams, creating chaotic and unpredictable frontlines.

Cash is King: A persistent economy system where every action—revives, transports, and kills—earns you cash. This money stays with you from match to match, letting you invest in better loadouts, vehicles, and gear.

Destructible Battlefields: Fortify buildings or level them to the ground. The terrain evolves as the fight progresses.

Combined Arms: It’s not just boots on the ground. Expect tanks, helicopters, and jets to dominate the skies and soil.

Realistic Pedigree: Developed on the War Dynamics Framework (Unreal Engine 5) with input from real-world ballistics and aerospace experts.

When can you play?

The game is slated for Steam Early Access in 2026, with a full multi-platform release (consoles) expected in 2027. If you’re tired of “hero shooters” and want a return to gritty, large-scale tactical depth, this is the one to wishlist.

Fun Fact: The devs are working directly with Sa-Matra, the original creator of the Arma 3 mod, to ensure the soul of the gameplay remains authentic.
