WARDOGS is developed by BULKHEAD and published by Team17. BULKHEAD creates the game and describes it as an in-development large-scale FPS; Team17 handles the publishing role shown on the official product pages.
BULKHEAD
BULKHEAD's WARDOGS page describes tactical gunplay, vehicles, building, destruction, a large sandbox, and persistent cash. The studio is the primary source for development intent, build changes, technical priorities, testing context, and explanations of how systems are designed.
Developer credit does not support guesses about the exact team size, individual responsibilities, budget, employment structure, ownership, or internal schedule. Unless BULKHEAD publishes those details, they should remain unclaimed.
Team17
Team17 is the publisher listed for WARDOGS on Steam and its own product materials. A publisher can coordinate release, store presence, marketing, trailers, press resources, distribution, and commercial communication. The exact division of every task between publisher and studio is not public, so broad industry assumptions should not be turned into WARDOGS-specific facts.
Team17's official pages and channel are strong sources for platform announcements, trailers, press assets, and release communication. Steam remains the final store record for account-specific pricing, requirements, access controls, and purchase state.
Roles
The clean credit line is simple: Developer: BULKHEAD. Publisher: Team17. Do not reverse the labels, collapse both organizations into a single studio, or imply that a community wiki, subreddit, creator channel, FirstLook page, or Discord moderator is part of the development team.
WARDOGS itself is the game and brand. Official social and community accounts can relay news without changing the legal or production credits displayed on the product pages.
Official Channels
Use BULKHEAD for studio and development context, Team17 for publisher material and official media, and Steam App 1867240 for the live store listing. Important announcements are strongest when they appear consistently across more than one of these channels.
Creator footage and community discussion can illuminate how a particular build felt, but they do not establish staffing, contracts, ownership, dates, or guaranteed roadmap delivery. When attributing a claim, name the organization that actually made it and preserve the publication date.
