The game was released into closed beta on 22 August 2026 for people who pre-ordered it and then released into early access for Microsoft Windows on 10 September 2026. Wardogs revolves around a “cash is king” style of play, with each player starting out with $10,000. The game takes inspiration from the Arma 3 mod called King of the Hill.
Earlier this month, Bulkhead announced that Wardogs is scheduled for release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and Series S in 2028.
Mikkel Weider, group chief executive officer of everplay, commented: “Selling more than one million copies on day one is a truly fantastic achievement by Bulkhead and Team17. I would like to thank everyone for their tremendous work! I’m really excited about our partnership with Bulkhead and proud to be part of the Wardogs franchise.”
Wakefield-HQ’d everplay, the developer of OG gaming legend Worms under its former moniker back in the day, (1995 to be precise, and the franchise is still going strong) will report its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2026 on Tuesday, 15 September 2026.
