The Wildgate Community Preview playtest is live, and crews of prospectors are now venturing into a hostile corner of the galaxy known as the Reach—a procedurally generated environment with randomized locations, encounters, hazards, loot, and more—for the first time. Their goal is to acquire a powerful Artifact and escape through the Wildgate . . . or simply defeat all rival ships and be the last crew flying.

Along the way they’ll be exploring alien landings for powerful upgrades, raiding and sabotaging each other’s ships, and engaging in high-stakes ship-vs.-ship combat.

Over the next four days (through 5:00 p.m. PDT on April 14), the Wildgate servers will be up and running, so now is a great time to follow along with your favorite creators and see what the game is all about. This is just the first of our planned playtests, so if you’d like a chance to join us in the Reach in the weeks to come, sign up at the official Wildgate site.

‍Wildgate is set to blast off with a full launch later this year. To stay up-to-date on all the latest news, check us out on X, Bluesky, and YouTube, and be sure to join our budding community of space criminals on Discord.
