WARDOGS revealed by Bulkhead and Team17
Derby studio Bulkhead announces a 100-player, three-team shooter with Team17 publishing, targeting Steam Early Access in 2026.
Bulkhead announced WARDOGS alongside a reveal trailer, with Team17 publishing. The pitch is an “all-out warfare FPS” for up to 100 players, built around combined-arms combat, base building and destruction.
The headline structure was set out at reveal and has not changed since: three teams, not two, contesting a randomised 2 × 2 km Control Zone inside a 256 km² map. First team to 100 points takes the match. Bulkhead has been open that the format comes from King of the Hill, the Arma 3 community mode.
Steam Early Access was named as the launch route from day one, with a 2026 window and an expected one to two years in Early Access before a full release.
