Last verified: 12 July 2026. WARDOGS release and community-server details may change.
Current status
The PixelPulse WARDOGS server is coming soon. The planned address is play.pixelpulse.gg, but there is no verified direct-connect command yet. WARDOGS is still in pre-alpha testing and is planned for Steam Early Access in 2026.
Community-hosted servers are an announced direction, but the public hosting tools, ports, configuration and connection workflow have not been documented. PixelPulse will update the WARDOGS server page when those details are confirmed.
Five useful steps you can take now
- Join the PixelPulse Discord. This is where PixelPulse will post the server launch notice and where players can begin forming squads.
- Bookmark the PixelPulse WARDOGS server page. It is the source of truth for PixelPulse status, the planned address and future connection instructions.
- Read the server and community rules. These are PixelPulse policies for conduct, fair play and moderation; they are not official WARDOGS rules.
- Follow the official WARDOGS Steam page. Use it for the current release status, supported platform, official game description and system requirements.
- Use the official WARDOGS playtest signup if you want to test the game. Places are limited and signing up does not guarantee access.
What not to rely on yet
- Unverified direct-connect commands, ports or server-browser instructions.
- A specific PixelPulse server opening date.
- Claims that community hosting will be available on the first day of Early Access.
- Unofficial invitations that promise guaranteed pre-alpha access.
When the server becomes joinable
PixelPulse will replace the preparation guidance with a tested joining checklist covering the real in-game server browser or connection flow. Until then, the Discord and server page are the two best places to follow progress.
