WARDOGS Arsenal

What Early Access includes

The distinction that matters: the mode is finished, the layer around the mode is not, and the studio has been specific about which is which.

In the build now

Described as “fully playable” and representing the game’s core vision written in Steam announcement — TOP QUESTIONS, 18 February 2026.

Stated as still to come

Laid out in in Steam announcement — Early Access & Beyond, 7 April 2026

How long, and what 1.0 means

No duration has been published, and no 1.0 date. What has been published is the shape of the work, which is a more honest thing to plan around: a studio still building account-level systems is not near a finished release. It also explains why the console answer has no date attached — certification wants a settled feature set.

Seasons are part of the design, not a later addition

The launch build arrived as “Season 1”, and the studio stated that each season will carry a different XP curve and a different item order. So the numbers on the progression page and the planner are season-scoped by design. That is unusual enough to be worth knowing before you build a long grind plan around any of them.

The refund posture

The studio has repeatedly told players to refund if the game is not what they wanted — after the beta, and again for anyone who bought expecting Proton support. Read alongside the no-monetisation commitment on the price page, it is a consistent posture rather than a one-off.
