WARDOGS’ Closed Beta is over after the August 21–23, 2026 test weekend, and the tactical shooter’s next major announcement is scheduled for September 3. The broadcast will take place one week before the game’s planned Steam Early Access launch.
In a Steam announcement, the WARDOGS team thanked the FPS community for its turnout and said the beta delivered milestones, memories, and lessons. Players who pre-ordered the game had guaranteed access to the closed beta.
The next WARDOGS announcement is scheduled for September 3
The FPS Games Show will take place on September 3, 2026, at 19:00 BST / 20:00 CEST, or 18:00 UTC, exclusively on Twitch. The team has not disclosed what WARDOGS will reveal, but it has described the segment as a major announcement.
WARDOGS is scheduled to enter Steam Early Access on September 10, 2026, placing the broadcast one week before launch. That timing gives the team a final public moment to share more about the game before players decide whether to jump in.
Anyone who missed the beta weekend was directed toward player first-impression videos and the official “10 Reasons NOT to Buy WARDOGS” developer vlog before deciding whether to pre-order. The team’s own recap and its earlier FPS Games Show announcement are available below.
