Wildgate is launching sooner than expected – July 22, 2025 – and it’s shaping up to be a standout in the world of team-based shooters.
Developed by Dreamhaven and Moonshot Studios, Wildgate brings more to the table than many recent titles in the genre. While it’s not exactly an extraction shooter like Dark and Darker or Legacy: Sword and Steal, it introduces a unique blend of PvP and PvE mechanics. The combat might remind players of Overwatch, but there’s far more strategic depth than a standard 5v5 brawl.
Space travel plays a big role, with starships setting the stage for high-stakes PvE encounters. These vary in difficulty and can be intense—especially when you factor in oxygen management based on your loadout. These PvE missions aren’t optional either. They’re crucial for gaining loot that significantly impacts your ability to compete in matches.
The back-and-forth of gameplay offers more variety and strategic depth than traditional payload modes seen in games like Overwatch or Team Fortress 2. Wildgate brings a layered approach to combat and resource management that makes each match feel meaningful.
This one has serious potential. Keep an eye out for Wildgate on July 22, and don’t forget to check back—we’ll be posting guides and resources in our Wildgate section soon.
