  2. WARDOGS | Season 02 Preview

    WARDOGS | Road to Season 2 Our next DEVLOG, which recaps Season 01 and previews some of Season 02's major content, is out now. Season 01 is coming to a close. And man, what a rollercoaster it has been. Watching the game evolve as the metagame shifts, while you learn and adapt to the ever changing sandbox of WARDOGS, has been a developer’s dream. 3+ million sales and counting. We cannot thank you enough. We didn’t get here by patting ourselves on the back or pretending the game was perfect. We got here through hard work, communication and, most importantly, clarity. Continuing with that…

  3. IR Goggles & CIWS Balance Hotfix

    We have just made 2 key balance changes. Within the next 12 hours when servers restart across regions, the IR Rangefinders will be disabled in the vendor until Season 02, where they will require batteries to use.In this instance, we agree with player sentiment and they cross the line into being too overpowered. The CIWS also now destroys the havoc in around 6 seconds as opposed to 12. We acknowledge we overcorrected this in the previous patch and have hotfixed the issue this morning. No new client download or server downtime is required. Thanks, BULKHEAD

    We have now released a small client update to help address the issues we’ve been seeing since launch. All currently logged-in players will be forced to close WARDOGS and restart the game.

  9. The 11th Reason NOT To Buy WARDOGS

    The 11th Reason NOT to Buy WARDOGS. The 11th Reason NOT to Buy WARDOGS. There's a rule in game development: you don't talk about anti-cheat.

  10. WARDOGS | Closed Beta 02 Announcement

    Officially announcing CLOSED BETA #2 ahead of The FPS Games Show. Pre-Order now to guarantee access - with limited access being handed out in waves. This is a genuine scale test where we want players to jump in and break our systems - right after The FPS Games Show. // Why not an open beta?
