Summary
$39.99 buys access to Wardogs when Bulkhead launches the 100-player FPS on Steam Early Access on Sept. 10, after an Aug. 7-9 closed alpha.
Aug. 21-23 marks the next test window: players who pre-order can join a closed beta aimed at stress-testing large-scale warfare, servers and core systems before launch.
Player feedback from the alpha was strongly positive, with creators praising Wardogs' pick-up-and-play feel, helicopter combat and overall beta-like polish.
Bulkhead is pitching Wardogs between arcade shooters like Call of Duty and Battlefield and hardcore titles like Squad and Escape From Tarkov, adding systems such as weapon trading and persistent XP progression.
The release enters a crowded September slate, where Wardogs will compete for attention under the looming shadow of GTA 6.
