The Steam wishlist count for BULKHEAD's 100-player military FPS WARDOGS has passed 1 million, Team17 announced on August 15. The milestone follows a video titled '10 Reasons Not to Buy' released on August 12, which candidly discussed the game's Early Access state, including a lack of content, a price that may feel high during development, and a gradual decline in player numbers after release.
The game, announced in February, reached 500,000 wishlists in May and 800,000 by August 11. The latest announcement means it gained 200,000 wishlists in just a few days, a pace the publisher attributes to the video's reception.
WARDOGS launches in Early Access on September 10 for Windows via Steam. Pre-purchasers get access to a closed beta from August 21 to 23, with refunds available for those who decide the game is not for them.
