Neither. WARDOGS is an all-out warfare FPS from BULKHEAD, published by Team17, in Early Access on Steam since 10 September 2026. Up to 100 players split across three factions: Lonestar, Valkyra and Manticore.
A match is King of the Hill. Every 30 seconds the faction with the most players inside the control zone scores 1 point. First to 100 points wins. Kills score nothing directly, so staying alive inside the zone is the whole scoring job.
Inside the control zone a smaller yellow hotzone moves around. Standing in it counts you as two players, and every cash and XP payout doubles there.
Your cash persists between matches. You buy a kit before each life and lose what you carried when you die, but your balance carries on. That is the only thing it shares with an extraction shooter.
