'Go Play GTA 6, We Need to Detox,' Wardogs Developer Tells Fans as It Prepares to Take December Off
After the runaway success of Wardogs, a new sandbox multiplayer shooter in Early Access on PC, the team at Bulkhead is taking a well-deserved break. They want you to know you can take a break, too.
Wardogs developer Bulkhead has announced a month-long break in December, urging fans to take a well-deserved detour from the game. The team behind the sandbox multiplayer shooter, which is currently in Early Access on PC, has been working tirelessly on balance patches, hotfixes, and updates since its launch. The intense pace of development has even led to controversy, such as the game's attempt to region lock players to combat cheating.
Bulkhead's CEO, Joe Brammer, revealed the pressure the team has been under, stating that everyone has had to wear multiple hats to ensure the product's success. Following a tumultuous Wardogs Season 2 launch, the developer is taking the month of December off to rest and refresh before the game's 1.0 launch. Brammer playfully added, "Go play GTA 6, we need to detox," acknowledging the massive impact Rockstar's upcoming open-world crime sequel will have on the gaming landscape.
With an anticipated launch on November 19 for PS5 and Xbox, GTA 6 is expected to be the biggest entertainment launch of all time, potentially making over $5 billion in its launch week alone.
