GAMEPLAY PRESENTATION | MANDRAKE | CHARM & SERIOUS PROMISE

PREVIEW | WARDOGS | TACTICAL WARFARE ON A MASSIVE SCALE

A helicopter cuts across a ruined industrial valley while infantry move beneath it, tanks push through the remains of an apartment block and three different armies attempt to claim the same patch of ground. None of them can afford to watch only one direction. That third force is the detail that immediately separates WARDOGS from the familiar two-sided military shooter.

It throws players into a battlefield that is difficult to read, dangerous to cross and...
