Wardogs Dev Says PS6 and Xbox Project Helix Ports Should Be Relatively Straightforward
Bulkhead Interactive, the developer of the new shooter Wardogs, has signaled confidence that porting the game to next-generation consoles will be a relatively straightforward process. The studio is planning to bring Wardogs to PlayStation 6 and Xbox’s Project Helix, though specific timelines for these unreleased platforms remain uncertain as platform holders have not yet announced official launch windows.
The game is currently scheduled to arrive on current-generation consoles in 2028, providing a stepping stone before its eventual next-gen release. This early planning demonstrates how developers are beginning to prepare for the transition to the next console cycle, even as the current PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series generation continues to mature and deliver new experiences.
While the current console generation is still evolving, platform holders Sony and Microsoft are clearly ramping up development efforts for their successor systems. Bulkhead’s confidence in the porting process suggests that the technical architecture and tools available for next-generation development offer sufficient compatibility with current-generation codebases, or that the studio possesses experience giving them optimism about the transition.
The announcement reflects broader industry trends as studios begin forward planning while maintaining focus on current-generation releases. Wardogs joining the roster of games expected to arrive on next-generation platforms underscores how the industry is already shifting its long-term development mindset toward these not-yet-released systems.
