Publisher Dreamhaven and developer Moonshot Games announced a release date for Wildgate, their new sci-fi crew-based shooter with spaceship combat.
Wildgate is set to launch across Windows PC (via Steam), Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 on July 22nd.
A fully cross-platform open beta test was also announced – it will run from June 9th through the 16th.
“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 in a press release. “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.”
Dreamhaven CEO and co-founder Mike Morhaime added, “At its heart, Wildgate is about forging powerful memories through epic spaceship battles, intense firefights, and the joy of shared adventure. 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.”
Here’s a rundown on the previously announced game, plus a new trailer:
Blast off into high-stakes spaceship battles and intense first-person shootouts, where no two matches are ever the same. If you want to claim the ultimate prize — the mysterious and priceless Artifact — you’ll need to improvise on the fly, whether it’s chasing down rival crews and stealing their gear, repairing your damaged ship, or scanning for precious resources.
Your ship is your home and lifeline — for you, and your prospector crew. Keep it topped up with ice, fuel and ammo so you’re ready for anyone or anything the Reach throws at you.
Features
- Epic Spaceship Battles – Blast your enemies with hi-tech cannons and gadgets, lure them into deadly traps, or even mess with their ship… as long as they don’t sabotage yours first. When your perfect plan goes out the airlock, there’s only one option… wing it!
- New Adventures, Every Match – Stay one step ahead as you and your crew navigate the Reach — a vast, procedurally-generated map that changes with every game.
- Unique Prospectors – Choose from a variety of daring prospectors, each with their own abilities and tools. Whether you’re a brave pilot or a clever trickster, there’s no wrong way to commit space crimes!
- Explore the Reach – The Reach is a dangerous, unpredictable place, filled with deadly hazards and treasure beyond your wildest dreams. Navigate through cosmic storms, battle space vermin, and plunder alien ruins for lost caches of loot. Just make sure you beat the other prospectors to the punch, or you’ll fly away empty-handed!
- Outrun or Outgun – The Artifact is the most valuable object in the known universe. Be the first to find it, snatch it, and pass through the Wildgate, or destroy the ships of every other crew and be the last crew standing.
