Prospectors will scavenge, upgrade, and battle in Wildgate's space frontier
Wildgate, a new multiplayer game from former Blizzard developers, is set in a space frontier called The Reach. Players, as Prospectors, can team up to scavenge loot, upgrade ships, and battle other crews. The game focuses on ship-to-ship combat, similar to Sea of Thieves, but with space-themed environments and hazards. Mid-match progression offers ship upgrades, personal weapons, and traps. The game emphasizes ship management, including putting out fires and boarding enemy vessels. Environmental hazards, like space lava and storms, also present challenges and opportunities for treasure. Wildgate features diverse Prospector characters and promises roles centered on piloting and ship-based functions. It's the first game from Moonshot Studios, founded by former Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime.
