- Happy 1st Anniversary! - 22 July 2026
Hey Prospectors, HAPPY WILDGATE ANNIVERSARY!!! 365 Days of Space CrimesA year ago today, Wildgate launched into the Reach. For many of our team, it was a giant, exciting and scary leap after several years of development. For others, it was the realization of an idea that first came to life way back during the pandemic, when many of us looked up and dreamed of the stars.Here’s a video celebrating some of our—and most importantly, your—memories over the last 12 months and beyond. We’ve dug through the archives from Wildgate’s earliest days as “Project Nebula”—from our first closed and open playtests, your clips, and even the top secret meme folder lovingly furnished by our QA team.This Week’s FestivitiesWe’re throwing some parties this week, and you’re invited!Some of our team will be jumping in-game at around 1pm PT today, Wednesday, July 22 (that’s 10pm CEST), and either queuing into ga…

- A year on from its launch, former Blizzard devs' Wildgate only has one last update left, but it's not shutting down - 25 June 2026
Welp, almost a year on from its launch, Wildgate's story is coming to an end. For a refresher, this is the sci-fi shooter from Moonshot Games led by Starcraft 2 lead designer Dustin Browder. This obviously all sounds a bit sad, and it will be for some out there, but this final update isn't as doomy and gloomy as it could be. Read more
- Wildgate | Patch 1.5.4 Announcement - 25 June 2026
Hello Wildgate, We’re working on our next patch, coming in July, but we’re going to handle this one differently. Getting straight to the point: Patch 1.5.4 is going to be Wildgate’s last big patch for a while. Thanks to player feedback, we added a ton of changes and improvements since launch: free trial, new prospector, new PvE oriented game modes like Treasure Hunt, free promotions on Epic Game Store, joining Game Pass, and more. Despite all our attempts to bring new and more players into the game, Wildgate hasn’t found a large enough audience to sustain ongoing development. However — Wildgate is not going away. We’re proud of the game and the community that has grown around it. Wildgate will continue to receive occasional updates like bug fixes, balance updates, and small events, activations or rewards that generally repurpose existing content. And new players will still be able to bu…
