Wildgate combines action-packed emergent gameplay with explosive spaceship combat for a galactically fresh take on the multiplayer genre.
Evade deadly environmental hazards, search for powerful weapons and ship upgrades, and be the first crew to escape with the Artifact... or the last crew left flying.
In Wildgate, players (called “Prospectors”) team up in small crews to venture into a hostile, unpredictable, and mysterious region of space in search of an ancient relic known as the Artifact. While in pursuit of the Artifact, players work together to pilot their spacecraft, plunder wreckage, and discover forgotten loot. To win, crews must successfully reach the exit point with the Artifact or go for a domination victory by destroying all rival ships by whatever means necessary.
Moonshot Games, a Dreamhaven studio, announced that Wildgate will launch on Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S on July 22, 2025, for $29.99 USD.
The developer also announced that players can participate in the Wildgate cross-platform open beta, taking place from June 9 to 16, 2025, on PC and consoles. The open beta marks their biggest playtest yet, with the debut of two new prospectors, additional points of interest for explorers to plunder throughout the Reach, reworked daily missions, and more.
Kae and Adrian join the Reach as playable prospectors beginning June 9 for the open beta, giving players more options to synergize with crewmates and navigate cosmic hazards. Kae wields mysterious powers, enabling her to telekinetically manipulate objects from afar and warp jump over an impressive distance. With his jet pack, Adrian’s hit-and-run tactics enable him to get to and from locations in a pinch.
Open beta players can explore The Refiner, The Drill Station, and The Juggernaut — three new points of interest offering even more locations to explore. Players can also look forward to additional daily missions, a revamped mission system, performance enhancements, a redesigned user interface, and other quality-of-life improvements.
“We’ve expanded and fine-tuned several systems in Wildgate based on feedback from the incredible number of players who joined our community preview playtests,” said Wildgate Game Director Dustin Browder. “With more than a hundred thousand unique players during the last community preview, the excitement to return to the Reach has us focused on delivering the best experience possible ahead of the game’s launch on July 22.”
“At its heart, Wildgate is about forging powerful memories through epic spaceship battles, intense firefights, and the joy of shared adventure,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Dreamhaven. “Wildgate was created for players who thrive on teamwork and connection — not only to win, but to experience the journey together. That sense of togetherness is what transforms each match into something truly memorable.”
