Early Access and full release
| Milestone | What is confirmed on September 7, 2026 |
|---|---|
| Steam Early Access | Planned for September 10, 2026 |
| Exact unlock time | Not established by the official material reviewed here |
| Version 1.0 | No fixed release date in the reviewed store statement |
| Expected Early Access duration | The developer currently estimates one to two years and says that may change |
Early Access is a work in progress. The developer plans to expand and refine the game using player feedback. Treat future content and the estimated development period as plans rather than guaranteed delivery dates. A store countdown is not enough to establish an exact worldwide unlock time.
Price
Steam lists a standard WARDOGS purchase and a Supporter Edition containing the game plus the Supporter Pack. Compare the item list and final price in your own Steam account before paying. This guide does not treat one currency display as a worldwide price.
The September 7 public-page snapshot displayed $39.99 for the game and $49.99 for the Supporter Edition. The retrieval was not authenticated to a verified store region, so these are reference displays, not a regional quote. Discounts, taxes and regional pricing may differ. The developer also says it plans a higher price by full release; no exact future price is confirmed here.
Use the official Steam purchase options to check what is currently sold. We do not sell keys or collect payments.
Does pre-ordering mean I can play now?
The September beta window ended on September 6 at 08:00 UTC. An old pre-order offer for that test does not mean its servers remain open. Read the test timeline and playtest access guide before treating an invitation as current access.
