Beta history
Early Access means the content counts above are a starting point, not a final roster.
Dates, and what they commit to
WARDOGS entered Early Access on Steam on a confirmed date and time, announced by the developer. That is the date this page records, and it is the only release date that presently exists.
Early Access is not a release in the sense people usually mean. There is no announced date for a 1.0 version, and any figure circulating for one is speculation. We leave it blank rather than repeating a guess, because a plausible-looking date is the kind of thing that gets quoted back as fact.
Announced launch content and observed content are different things. The developer has announced weapon, vehicle and map totals for launch; the catalogue on this site documents what has actually been seen in builds, which is fewer. The gap is content not yet shipped, and it will close over the Early Access period rather than all at once.
Expect the numbers to move. Prices, stats and rosters in an Early Access game change between patches, sometimes substantially. Everything on this site is stamped with the build it was recorded from for exactly that reason, so you can tell whether a figure is current or simply old.
Patch dates are not announced far ahead either. Early Access development tends to run on a cadence rather than a calendar, and the developer announces updates through the store page and their own channels when they are ready. Anywhere you see a specific future date for WARDOGS content that is not attributed to one of those, treat it as someone's guess.
The date, the time and the platform here are Confirmed. The closed beta dates that preceded them are recorded too, because they are the source of much of the observed data elsewhere on the site.
