Wildgate Will Take Players To The Far Reaches of Space
Moonshot Games, a Dreamhaven development studio, has announced Wildgate. A crew-based first-person shooter that is set in the far reaches of space.
It combines action-packed gameplay with explosive spaceship combat to offer a fresh multiplayer experience.
Players, or Prospectors, will team up in small crews and venture into hostile and unpredictable environments in search of an ancient artifact. Crews must work together to plunder wreckage, collect loot and reach the exit with the artifact. Or if players are feeling destructive, they can achieve victory by destroying all enemy ships. It is very much a race to be the first ones out or be the last ones standing.
Procedurally generated matches will play a big part in the game to ensure that each match will be unique. Prospectors will also be unique, each having their own abilities and tools to utilise.
There will also be a community playtest of the game that will run from April 10th-14th 2025. Anyone interested in participating can head to www.playwildgate.com and sign up.
“Wildgate was designed for anyone that’s ever wanted to go on a daring space adventure alongside a fearless crew,” said Jason Chayes, studio head of Moonshot Games. “Players are invited to work together and confront evolving cosmic threats – whether they’re mysterious hazards of the Reach – or presented by rival Prospectors. We’re counting on you to bring your best-laid plans… and hey, even if they don’t pan out for the win, we’ve found that some of our favorite experiences are the ones we least expect.”
“Wildgate rewards cooperation and tactical mastery in a way that realizes Dreamhaven’s goal to bring players together and help them create lasting memories,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Dreamhaven. “Since every match of Wildgate plays differently, there’s tons for you and your friends to discover as you explore the Typhon Reach. Ship-vs-ship combat brings an element of chaos that makes for an especially fun time, and we’re looking forward to players experiencing it for themselves during the playtest.”
No official release date was given for Wildgate but it will launch on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles later in 2025.
