The first-person shooter "Wardogs", previously passed over by Tencent, has sold over two million copies in just five days on Steam. Developed by Bulkhead, the title reached a peak of 429,000 concurrent players while topping global sales charts on the platform. CEO Joe Brammer had initially requested a substantial project budget from Tencent, which was declined due to differing visions on scale.

Team17's parent company, Everplay, took advantage of this massive success to increase its financial stake in Super Media Group. The creators plan to keep the game in early access for one to two years to significantly expand the final content. The studio ultimately aims to introduce new maps, varied weaponry, and a console release by 2028.
