The closed alpha test for WARDOGS officially came to an end on August 9th, with players from throughout the globe praising the game for its unique blend of tactical, grounded gunplay with large-scale combined-arms warfare. Now, the FPS gaming community is eagerly looking to the WARDOGS closed beta.
For the uninitiated, WARDOGS is a tactical all-out warfare FPS where one hundred players are split into three teams as they fight over the control zone. Set in the derelict industrial mountains of Eastern Europe on a destructible battlefield, the Team17 title has sent shockwaves throughout the gaming community with its early access, which lasted roughly 2 days.
However, the closed alpha for WARDOGS had extremely limited slots, meaning many interested players weren’t able to get in. That’s why so many are now looking forward to a closed beta as their next chance to try WARDOGS before its official launch. In this article, we’ll take a look at how you can access the next WARDOGS beta test, when it might happen, and more.
