Dreamhaven Unveils Wildgate: A Space Piracy Extraction Shooter from Moon Shot Studio

Dreamhaven, the game publisher founded by former Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime in 2020 after his departure in 2019, has showcased the first project from its second in-house studio, Moon Shot. Following the announcement of Sunderfolk, a tactical RPG from their other studio Secret Door, Moon Shot revealed Wildgate, a thrilling space piracy extraction shooter. The unveiling occurred during a presentation by The Game Awards, offering a first glimpse at this highly anticipated title.

Embark on High-Stakes Heists in the Typhon Reach

Wildgate plunges players into the perilous Typhon Reach as spacefaring privateers. This team-based extraction shooter challenges crews of players to navigate a dangerous, unpredictable region of space in pursuit of a valuable ancient relic known as the Artifact.

Customize Your Pirate Crew and Ship

Wildgate provides diverse options for players to tailor their gameplay. Crews can select from various ship archetypes, each possessing distinct strengths in defense, offense, and navigation. Ships can be further enhanced with traps and armaments discovered as loot throughout the Typhon Reach during matches, allowing for strategic customization and adaptation.

Unique Prospector Abilities Add to the Chaos

Adding another layer of complexity are the “prospectors,” the characters inhabiting the Wildgate universe. From nimble space hawks to dignified rabbit-like figures, each prospector boasts a unique set of abilities that can be deployed to disrupt enemy ships and gain an edge in chaotic space battles.

Wildgate: Promising Crew-Based Space Combat

Wildgate presents a compelling proposition for fans of crew-based games. The game aims to capture the intense, frantic moments of managing shipboard crises under fire, demanding teamwork to tackle breaches, fires, and incoming attacks. The addition of the ever-present threat of vacuum exposure amplifies the tension, promising a thrilling and engaging experience.

Dreamhaven’s Expanding Game Portfolio

In addition to the Wildgate reveal, Dreamhaven announced the release date for Sunderfolk, set for April 23rd. They also unveiled a publishing partnership with Game River for Mechabellum, a mech-focused autobattler previously described as “fast, fun, and deeply strategic.” Dreamhaven’s support aims to ensure Mechabellum maintains its quality and appeal.

Wildgate Playtest and Launch Window

While Wildgate is scheduled for launch in 2025, eager players can participate in a preview playtest from April 10th to 14th. Sign-ups for the playtest are likely available on the official Wildgate website.
