Developer Bulkhead has announced that the upcoming second season of Wardogs will introduce rain to the game. Scheduled for release on October 15, this update features persistent rainfall throughout entire matches rather than dynamic weather transitions.
Senior producer Kane Allard noted that the addition significantly alters gameplay, potentially impacting player preferences and established play styles. The team views these rainy maps as distinct experiences, functioning similarly to a separate game mode.
The environmental changes include reduced visibility and darker map aesthetics. Thunder can be utilized to mask gunfire, while rain creates varied audio cues upon hitting surfaces like helmets or rooftops. Additionally, windows may fog up, and destruction mechanics ensure that players become exposed if their overhead cover is destroyed.
While Bulkhead is considering future weather effects like snow or nighttime scenarios, these additions require careful evaluation regarding performance and gameplay balance. Currently, the studio remains focused on the Season 2 launch, which also includes a new gambling mechanic.
