The shooter that Tencent abandoned: Wardogs hits 2m sales in one weekend

Two million copies of Wardogs were sold in its first five days. This is a significant achievement, especially considering the game's troubled past. Wardogs was initially developed by a studio that was later abandoned by Tencent, the game's current publisher. The game's success on Steam has also led to comparisons with other recent releases, such as Helldivers 2 and Arc Raiders, which had less successful launches.

Gaming Nexus reported that Wardogs' console version is scheduled for release in 2028. This news suggests that the game's developers are committed to its long-term success. The game's Steam charts debut, alongside Halloween: The Game, also generated interest among gamers.

GameTyrant and DualShockers noted the game's rapid sales growth, with some players expressing surprise at the game's quality despite its troubled development history. However, the game's full impact and potential for future success are still uncertain, as its long-term prospects and console release are yet to be seen.
