WARDOGS Early Access: Date, Scope and Plans

What the Early Access description includes

The Steam statement describes the core 100-player, three-team mode, dynamic objectives, cash and XP progression, vehicles and logistics, plus proximity voice chat. BULKHEAD says balance and polish will continue as the game develops. ^{[01]EVIDENCE / 01WARDOGS on SteamOpen source (opens in a new tab)}

What belongs to the development plan

More maps, weapons and vehicles are planned. The studio also describes deeper progression and a seasonal metagame, with fighter jets given as an example of a future vehicle type. Those plans explain the direction of development; they do not add those features to the launch build. ^{[01]EVIDENCE / 01WARDOGS on SteamOpen source (opens in a new tab)}

If a particular planned feature is the reason you want WARDOGS, wait for an update that says it has shipped. If the existing mode is enough, judge the current build through the review and buying context.

Price changes during development

BULKHEAD plans a lower price in Early Access and a higher price for the full release, with possible increases as the game expands. It does not give a dated schedule of those increases.
