What BULKHEAD plans to show

  • A full match of regular infantry gameplay during the first part of the stream.
  • Hours of WARDOGS played by the developers and real playtesters.
  • New dates, although the announcement does not identify them yet.
  • Alpha-access and hardware giveaways.
  • A new gameplay trailer.
  • A second-half LAN Party challenge built around in-game risk and mistakes.

The second-half challenge

For the later portion, BULKHEAD demonstrates a custom telemetry setup connected to wearable training collars. The studio says recorded game events can trigger the devices, allowing actions such as taking damage, dying or scoring a kill to have an immediate physical consequence for participants.

The developers are asking viewers to suggest possible in-game events or challenge rules in the YouTube comments. Exact rules for the live version have not yet been published.

Safety: the official video opens with the warning, “Do not recreate any stunts performed in this video.” PixelPulse is reporting the announcement and does not recommend reproducing the challenge.

What remains unannounced

BULKHEAD has not yet said which dates will be revealed, how many alpha-access or hardware prizes will be available, who will be eligible, or exactly how long the stream will run. Those details should not be treated as confirmed until the broadcast or separate giveaway terms are published.

Where to watch

The livestream is scheduled for 23 July 2026 at 18:00 UTC on BULKHEAD's Twitch channel.
