Warhounds 1.0 Launches on Steam with Tactical Turn-Based Campaign
The mercenary strategy title exits development and arrives in full, with a launch discount and post-release support promised.
After a development period tracked by a demo and a wishlist community, Warhounds has reached version 1.0 on Steam as of August 11, 2026.
The full release opens up the complete campaign, base development, squad assembly, and the turn-based tactical battles that define the game's loop across its world.
What changed
- Full campaign is now accessible, where previously only a demo existed
- Squad and base systems — recruit mercenaries and develop a home base
- Tactical turn-based combat across the game's world
- Five languages at launch: English, German, French, Spanish, and Polish
- 15% launch discount active for the first two weeks
The developer — posting under the handle wh — noted that work continues beyond release, with bug fixes, experience improvements, and community feedback all cited as ongoing priorities. No specific roadmap or content additions were outlined.
For players who followed the demo or tracked development, 1.0 represents the complete intended package rather than another early-access milestone — a meaningful distinction for a genre where launches are often provisional.
