Watch the trailer now
The new gameplay trailer gives players the clearest look yet at WARDOGS in action. Set around the high-stakes Control Zone, 100 players and three rival teams fight to dominate the battlefield. WARDOGS combines tactical gunplay, combined-arms combat, construction, destruction, and large-scale team play, creating a warzone where coordination matters, risk pays off, and cash is king.
The reveal comes as WARDOGS recently passed 500,000 Wishlist’s on Steam, a major milestone for the independent studio, offering a clear signal that players are hungry for a different kind of large-scale shooter.
Following recent hands-on playtests, BULKHEAD is opening sign-ups for the next WARDOGS playtest.

For BULKHEAD, playtesting has never been a marketing beat with a feedback form bolted on. It’s a real opportunity for players to push the systems, expose the cracks, test the chaos, and help shape WARDOGS into the all-out warfare experience they have been asking for.
Instead of another polished developer quote, BULKHEAD is letting real playtesters speak for themselves:
“I have not felt this much excitement in a game in the past year, with 1300 games in my steam library, this one is going to be my next main game. The player base is already top notch, the gunplay feels smooth, the dev team is responsive, I am totally hooked.” – iShot
“You guys are absolutely cooking with this game. It’s really good. There’s so much new stuff in here that other games just aren’t doing. If you keep at it, then I think you’re on to a winner.” – JackFrags
“Performance wise, I was not expecting it to be this smooth this early in development, you’ve done a spectacular job there” – CONiiD
“The only game where five guys sprint to revive you then start arguing over who gets to revive you. Not because they like you. They’re just here for the money.” – HietsoM
The WARDOGS party isn’t over yet. Head to WARDOGS.com now for an exclusive extended gameplay reveal stream with live footage taken during a team playtest earlier this week. Then, tune into the PC Gamer show tomorrow for a deeper look at what’s coming next.
