Wardogs Season 3 Kicks Off November 12
After a less-than-ideal Season 2 for Wardogs, Bulkhead Interactive is going to usher in Season 3 a lot earlier, and it kicks off on November 12.
Players can expect a new urban close-quarters map to be introduced, a new season wipe, changes to progression, and also a longer season length.
Check out the trailer and lead-up to it straight from Bulkhead, as well as our recap of what to expect from the new season.
Wardogs Season 3 Overview of What’s New
Wardogs Overview
- Limited Mode: Offers an alternative experience with restrictions on weapons, ammunition, armour, and vehicles to maintain a more balanced early-to-mid-game combat experience.
- Planned Restrictions: FMJ-only ammunition, Tier 2 armour cap, and reduced attack vehicle selection. The final restricted item list is still being determined.
- Shared Progression: Cash and XP earned in Limited Mode can be used in the default mode and vice versa.
/li> - Three-Month Seasons: BULKHEAD is extending seasons to three months, giving players more time to progress before wipes and developers additional time to prepare updates.
- Progression Adjustments: Progression will return closer to Season 1’s pace, following feedback that Season 2 accelerated progression too aggressively.
- Anti-Cheat Improvements: Additional anti-cheat measures are being deployed following analysis of 187 million gameplay hours using machine learning.
- Enforcement Actions: Permanent bans and revoked server-hosting privileges have been issued against exploiters, real-money traders, and gold-farming networks.
- Future Anti-Cheat Measures: A player trust score and additional anti-cheat systems are planned for 2027.
- WARDOGS 1.0: Season 3 is part of the game’s ongoing development toward version 1.0, with larger metagame changes and a new progression system planned for 2027.
In the press release sent out, studio boss Joe Brammer states, “Season 3 is about giving players a new battlefield to learn together and a progression journey worth spending time on,” and adds,” Longer seasons give everyone more room to reach their own goals, and give us the time to properly develop what comes next. We’re also taking major action against cheating. Protecting the people who play WARDOGS fairly is essential to everything we’re building.”
The studio is also adding more layers for anti-cheat after analyzing 187 million hours of gameplay with the assistance of machine learning (ie. AI), and this has translated to the devs taking action against exploiters, real-money trading and gold-farming networks, issuing permanent bans and revoking server-hosting privileges. Further anti-cheat measures, including a player trust score, are planned for 2027.
