No rumors.
WARDOGS is a 100-player tactical shooter by BULKHEAD, published by Team17. It is not out yet — Early Access begins 10 Sep, 2026. Everything on this site comes from official pre-release material, and every fact says where it comes from, when we last checked it, and how certain it is.

The publisher’s one-page explainer says each match starts at USD 10,000. PC Gamer’s Morgan Park, who played a test build (11 August 2026), reports that money is held at the account level instead. We show the disagreement rather than pick a side; the entry explains both readings.
