How we know what we publish
This page explains how we read sources about WARDOGS, how we label their claims, and what we refuse to publish. Official material and attributed press reports remain distinct. A page’s checked date tells you when its evidence was last reviewed; it does not claim that every later change is already covered.
THE THREE LEVELS — AND NOTHING ELSE
Every fact on this site carries exactly one of three labels. There is no fourth. There is no “datamined” and no “rumor”, because our doctrine forbids publishing either.
Published by BULKHEAD or Team17, in material we opened ourselves — the store listing, the press kit, the trailers, the one-page explainer. We cite the document, and where it matters, the timestamp.
Reported by an identified journalist who saw or played the game. We name the author, outlet and date. This remains an attributed report, not an official confirmation.
We have a reason to believe it and no source that settles it. Said as such, in those words, on the entry itself. An unconfirmed line is a question we are tracking, not a fact we are hedging.
WHAT WE WILL NOT DO
We do not publish leaks, stolen material or files extracted and distributed by third parties. Owning the game does not authorise us to reveal unannounced content or bypass protection. Lawful observations may corroborate information that has already been announced.
We do not turn a journalist’s account into an official fact. Hands-on reporting is precious — it is also one person’s session of an unfinished build. It stays attributed, at the REPORTED level, however convincing it reads.
We do not invent a number to fill a page. Empty categories: 0 of 8. A category can open when a sourced article is ready, not simply because a release date has passed.
ON NUMBERS
Numbers come from named, lawful sources and are generated from those records rather than copied into prose. An official patch note can document a change; it does not replace a complete, current price table from the game. Missing values remain missing.
This is not caution for its own sake. A number typed into a sentence is frozen on the day it was written, while the game keeps moving; the sentence then goes wrong without anyone editing it and without anyone noticing. A number we cannot generate is a number we cannot keep true, so we would rather leave the gap visible.
Store figures are retrieved from Steam when we refresh the data. Each fact page shows the date of that retrieval. The site is a dated record, not a live feed: consult Steam for subsequent changes.
HOW DATES WORK
Every entry carries the date it was last checked, visibly, next to its title. A fact without a date is a fact you cannot trust twice — sources move, store pages change, and pre-release material goes stale by design.
The release date, 10 Sept 2026, is a point for reviewing pre-release material. Our recheck list is derived from the entries themselves. Being on that list is not proof that an in-game check has already been performed.
THE AUTHORITIES WE RELY ON
We list 9 official or first-party sources. A claim needs one of these, or an identified journalist at the REPORTED level, before publication.
Named press — PC Gamer’s Morgan Park and Andy Chalk, Insider Gaming’s Grant Taylor-Hill, DualShockers’ Lauren Sayles — is quoted by name and date, at the REPORTED level, and never merged into fact.
WHEN WE GET IT WRONG
We will. When it happens, we correct the page and say what changed rather than editing quietly — a site whose corrections are invisible is a site whose accuracy is unverifiable. All 43 entries carry a visible checked date, and this page was last checked on 9 October 2026.
