Wardogs brings 100 player military sandbox action to early access later this year
AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Bulkhead has announced Wardogs, a 100 player tactical military sandbox shooter inspired by the Arma 3 King of the Hill mod, heading to early access this year with persistent loadout economies and heavy team mechanics.
Bulkhead, the development team behind Battalion 1944, has announced a brand new tactical military shooter called Wardogs. Set to launch in early access sometime in 2026, the game drops up to 100 players into chaotic multiplayer matches where rival mercenary teams fight for supremacy and hard cash. According to reporting by Mark Warren over at Rock Paper Shotgun, the core inspiration for the main mode comes not from traditional battle royales, but from the classic Arma 3 King of the Hill mod.
Matches take place on a massive 256 square kilometer map featuring a randomized central control zone. Three teams battle for territorial dominance, utilizing fully destructible environments to build fortified defensive positions, makeshift bases, and strategic chokepoints. Success requires heavy teamwork, with players earning in game cash through objective control, squad revives, and tactical transport. This currency persists between matches, allowing players to finance upgraded loadouts, heavy weaponry, and military vehicles that can completely shift the momentum of a firefight.
Bulkhead plans to keep Wardogs in early access for roughly 12 to 18 months, using the community feedback loop to refine balance, expand content, and tune core systems. For players who love large scale tactical shooters with persistent progression economies, this is definitely one to keep on the radar. You can check out the original details and wishlist the game over on Rock Paper Shotgun.
