Wildgate’s release date and open beta were revealed at the 2025 Summer Game Fest showcase. Watch the trailer on Wildgate’s official YouTube channel.
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. For more information about the open beta and its new content, see the blog post here.
“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.”
Key features of Wildgate include:
- 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.
- EPIC SPACESHIP BATTLES – Vaporize your enemies with hi-tech cannons and gadgets, lure them into deadly traps, or even hijack their ride... as long as they don't sabotage yours first. When your perfect plan goes out the airlock, there's only one option... wing it!
- UNIQUE PROSPECTORS – Choose from a variety of daring prospectors, each with their own abilities and tools. Whether you're a heroic 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 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 ones left alive.
