From Press Release:
Irvine, CA – November 19, 2025 – Today, Dreamhaven™ and developer Moonshot Games™ launched Wildgate™: Emergence, the first major content update for the spacefaring crew-based first-person shooter. Wildgate’s most robust update yet, Emergence introduces highly requested new game modes, Treasure Hunt and Fleet Battle, Psionic prospector Charlie, the Outlaw solo or two-person crew ship, the ability to create custom game lobbies, and more. For a limited time, purchase Wildgate or the Renegade Edition for 50% off on Steam.
Watch the launch trailer for Emergence on the official Wildgate YouTube channel.
Those who have yet to explore all that the Reach has to offer can play Wildgate, including the Emergence update, during the Steam Free Weekend (unlimited level access), Xbox Free Play Days for Xbox Game Pass members, or PlayStation®5 free trial (limited to prospector level five) starting November 20, 2025.
“Emergence is the start of Wildgate’s next chapter. Since launch, players have shared what they want to see, and we’ve heard them loud and clear: more ways to play, more opportunities to bring in their friends, and more reasons to keep coming back for wild space adventures,” said Jason Chayes, studio head of Moonshot Games. “Whether it’s teaming up for a more relaxed Treasure Hunt, diving into an intense Fleet Battle, or playing with your closest pals in custom game lobbies, this update gives our community fresh ways to enjoy all that the Reach has to offer.”
“At Dreamhaven, we’re proud to support Moonshot Games in delivering an update that reflects the relationship between Moonshot and the Wildgate community. Players asked for further ways to play, and the team delivered,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Dreamhaven. “Moonshot’s passion for crafting meaningful experiences, engaging with the community, and building a world that brings people together is exactly what we believe great game development is all about.”
Emergence key features include:
- TREASURE HUNT GAME MODE – Enter the Reach, salvage valuable treasure, and escape without getting blown up! In this slightly more relaxed looting expedition across the Reach, fight AI ships, complete quests, gather treasure, and extract at any time to turn hauls into rewards.
- FLEET BATTLE GAME MODE – Engage in point-based 3v3 ship battles where a win is secured by gaining points through blasting other players and respawning ships, or securing multiple Artifacts. Jump straight into the action, battle for control of Artifacts, respawn, and keep the fight going.
- PSIONIC PROSPECTOR, CHARLIE – Charlie can instantly revive allies without channeling, teleport to allies within 150 meters, and is healed by cosmic storms, radiation, fire, and shock fields.
- OUTLAW SOLO AND TWO-PERSON CREW SHIP – Jump into the pilot’s seat of the Outlaw, a ship that can be played solo or with a two-person crew that is resistant to boarding and specializes in speed.
- CUSTOM GAME LOBBIES – A long-requested feature since launch, Custom Lobbies allow players to host their own Wildgate matches. When playing in Artifact Brawl mode, players can create a lobby, set a few basic options, and invite friends (or rivals)!
- ALIEN LOCATIONS – Explore the Euphonic Spheres, a new Point of Interest (POI).
- THE DEAD WORLDS REACH ZONE – A perilous new region of the Reach where survival takes cunning and grit. Here, resources are scarce, and danger is everywhere. Scavenge and harness vampiric devices to drain energy from shipwrecks or eerie crimson towers.
- THE RESONATOR – Use the Resonator, a new rhythmic weapon that is part energy cannon and part grenade launcher. Charge the Resonator by hitting objects with its beam, then blast away with a charged-up right-click grenade for explosive damage.
- THE MEDIC (DRONE) — The third member of Wildgate’s robo-buddy family and pocket paramedic. Deploy it anywhere inside or outside a ship, and it’ll hover near its owner, patching up prospectors or allies in range.
Assets for Emergence are in the press kit.
