Bulkhead studio, which started with the niche Battalion, has rapidly broken into the top league of shooter developers. On Friday, Wardogs gathered 360 thousand concurrent players, and last night the figure exceeded 428 thousand.
According to PlayTracker, 2.42 million copies of the game have already been sold on Steam. Wardogs has held the top spot on the bestseller chart for six consecutive days. After server issues at launch on September 10, when the rating was around 45%, the developers quickly rectified the situation. Now, 80% of players in 50 thousand reviews recommend the project.
Bulkhead stated
Thank you for helping us reach 400,000 concurrent players. The reaction to our game has completely overwhelmed us, and we love watching you play.
The success of Wardogs is also seen as a sign of changing player preferences, who are looking for more serious shooters with immersive gunplay without unusual costumes and accessories from microtransactions. Last week, the developers confirmed the game's console release.
