You ever get the feeling that a game is about to make a big splash, but nobody you know is talking about it yet? That's where I've been with Wardogs, the 100-player milsim FPS that I haven't stopped thinking about for weeks. Wardogs has steadily built buzz over the past year, recently eclipsing a million wishlists.
Developer Bulkhead held a closed beta this past weekend for those who pre-ordered the $40 early access release, which reached over 100,000 peak Steam players on Sunday—more simultaneous players than Squad, Hell Let Loose, or Arma has ever seen on PC. In a beta debrief video published today, game director Howard Philpott said nearly 500,000 total players tried Wardogs.
