Wardogs Season 3 Bringing New Urban Map and Limited Mode on November 12, 2026

Bulkhead and publisher Team17 have announced that Wardogs Season 3 will launch on November 12, 2026. The upcoming update for the tactical first-person shooter brings a new urban map, a limited mode, and a renewed focus on game stability and progression. Season 3 introduces close-quarters combat on a fresh map alongside a season wipe and adjustments to progression pacing. Bulkhead noted that progression will return closer to the pace seen in Season 1 after acknowledging that Season 2 accelerated the journey too aggressively.

Alongside the new map, Season 3 introduces Limited Mode as an alternative way to experience the game. The mode places restrictions on weapons, ammunition, armour, and vehicles to preserve early-to-mid-game combat and reduce the advantages of powerful equipment. Planned restrictions include full-metal-jacket-only ammunition, a Tier 2 armour cap, and a reduced attack vehicle selection, though the final item list remains under review. Cash and experience points earned in Limited Mode carry over to the default mode and vice versa. Bulkhead is also shifting to three-month seasons to give players more time to reach their goals.

In addition to content updates, Bulkhead detailed new steps against exploiters, real-money trading, and cheating. The studio is activating further layers of anti-cheat after analyzing 187 million hours of gameplay using machine learning. This effort has supported a major ban wave covering 185,000 accounts. Additional anti-cheat measures, including a player trust score, are planned for release in 2027 as part of the studio's ongoing work toward version 1.0.
