The studio has nominated WARDOGS for the Golden Joystick Awards in the Best Early Access Game 2026 category. This year the winner isn't picked by a jury — voting is open to everyone.
The nomination
The category is Best Early Access. You can vote at goldenjoysticks.com. The decision here belongs to players, not a jury.
Community
The community is now in the second week of the #WARDOGS100k campaign, and the studio is watching the clips players are posting.
What's next
The studio acknowledges that early access is a long road, and that all player feedback gets read. The team is already working on Season 2, with details promised next week.
"Here the award isn't decided by a jury, but by a button pressed on a website — thirty seconds that genuinely matter for a game that hasn't even seen a season yet."
