## Key points

- Bulkhead says Season 2 changes were too aggressive.
- Season 3 adds a new map, mode and flexible unlocks.
- Its new anti-cheat system has banned 185,000 accounts.

## Summary

Bulkhead has outlined changes coming to Wardogs in Season 3 and acknowledged that its response to player criticism in Season 2 went too far. The studio says it plans to make more considered decisions instead of rushing fixes to satisfy the loudest voices, while adding new content and revising progression.

Season 3 introduces Sabatulo, an urban-focused map, and a Limited mode that removes high-tier equipment to make matches more accessible. Players will also be able to unlock some items through multiple roles, ahead of a larger progression overhaul planned for 2027. Bulkhead says its new anti-cheat system analysed 187 million hours of gameplay using machine learning and AI, and banned 185,000 accounts when it went live; the company says it cannot eliminate cheating entirely.
