Wildgate Set to Launch on Multiple Platforms This July
Prepare for an exhilarating new adventure in space as Wildgate, the highly anticipated multiplayer space shooter developed by former Blizzard veterans at Moonshot Games and published by Dreamhaven, is scheduled to release on July 22. The game will be available on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation, promising a thrilling experience for players across all major gaming platforms.
Open Beta Announced with Exciting New Features
During this year’s Summer Game Fest, it was officially announced that a cross-platform open beta for Wildgate will run from June 9 to June 16. This beta test will give players a taste of the game’s dynamic gameplay and introduce several new elements, including two new playable characters—Kae, who possesses telekinesis, and Adrian, equipped with a jetpack. Alongside these characters, the beta will feature three new points of interest to explore, fresh daily missions, and a revamped mission system designed to enhance gameplay variety and engagement.
What Is Wildgate About?
Originally announced in March, Wildgate combines elements of sci-fi, multiplayer competition, exploration, and combat. The game centers around a crew of space outlaws executing daring heists, with a gameplay style reminiscent of titles like Sea of Thieves. Our early preview described it as a game where unpredictable and chaotic moments happen every match—moments that players will want to share and recount with friends, whether they win or lose. If the game manages to deliver on that promise, it could become a favorite for squad-based multiplayer enthusiasts.
Dreamhaven’s Vision for the Future
In discussions with Dreamhaven founder and former Blizzard president Mike Morhaime, he shared his hopes for the company’s future. When announcing Wildgate, Morhaime emphasized his desire for Dreamhaven to become a trusted name in the gaming industry. He expressed his aspiration that the brand would be associated with quality and excitement, with players feeling confident that any game released under Dreamhaven’s banner would be something special worth exploring.
