WARDOGS Release Date — Out Now & 1.0 Roadmap
WARDOGS is out — Steam Early Access launched on September 10, 2026, and the game broke records in its first weekend (428,000+ concurrent players, 1.25 million copies). This page covers the launch details and the 1.0 roadmap.
Early Access Launch (Sep 10, 2026)
- Status: live now on Steam (app 1867240).
- Platform: PC via Steam only. No console versions at EA.
- Price: $39.99 / €39.99 / £36.99 standard; Supporter Edition $49.99 / €50 / £45.99.
- First weekend: 1.25M+ copies sold, 428,436 peak concurrent players on Sep 13.
What Changed at Launch vs Beta
- Progression is slower: the tank is now locked behind a high Driver level.
- Beta progress was wiped — everyone started Early Access from zero (see Wipe & Seasons).
- Launch content: 37 weapons, 21 vehicles, 3 maps with variations, 112+ attachments — Season 2 (Oct 15) added four weapons and four vehicles (see Season 2).
- Server strain: launch week queues and outages hit hard — see the Servers page.
- Anti-cheat: Easy Anti-Cheat (kernel-level) is active.
1.0 Roadmap
- Early Access duration: roughly 12–24 months.
- Planned additions: more maps, weapons and vehicles, deeper progression, a seasonal meta game, fighter jets, and new objective types.
- Full release: expected late 2027 to 2028, with a price increase at 1.0.
- Consoles: a full multi-platform release is planned after PC Early Access.
