Wildgate: New space shooter from Blizzard co-founder is now available!

07/23/2025 Shooter

Mike Morhaime, a name you probably know from his time at Blizzard, where he helped bring us epic games like World of Warcraft and Overwatch, has just launched a brand-new live-service game called Wildgate! This isn't just any game; it's a passion project brought to life by Dreamhaven, the new publisher he co-founded.

I've been keeping an eye on this one, and it looks pretty cool.

What's Wildgate All About?

So, what exactly is Wildgate? It's a crew-based, first-person space shooter where you and your buddies team up as "prospectors." The goal? To venture into space, hunt for this ancient relic called the Artifact, and either grab it and make it to the exit or simply obliterate any rival ships that stand in your way. Think colorful characters, a vibrant sci-fi universe, and over-the-top action.

The game's art style looks amazing! It has a very colorful design, that alone already makes me want to play.

Available on Multiple Platforms

Good news! You can dive into Wildgate right now on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5. So, no matter your platform of choice, you can join the intergalactic fun.

And the team at Moonshot Games, one of the developers under the Dreamhaven umbrella, seems super dedicated. They've already laid out a roadmap that includes bi-weekly updates, mid-season patches, and those sweet, sweet seasonal content drops. They mentioned that, while there will be opportunities to buy in-game stuff, they are aiming for that content to be mostly cosmetic. That's great!

Now, let's be real. The live-service market is a tough nut to crack. We've seen some big names stumble, like Sony's Concord. But hey, Morhaime has a track record of success, and Dreamhaven seems committed to making Wildgate a truly engaging experience. Only time will tell if Wildgate can carve out its place among the titans like Fortnite and GTA 5, but I am really rooting for it!
