Wildgate Community Preview is a playtest associated with Wildgate, a PvPvE multiplayer shooter. The parent game casts players as prospectors working together aboard a ship while competing with rival crews across the dangerous Reach. The playtest is a distinct test application, so the game’s broader design provides context rather than a guarantee of what the preview contains.
In Wildgate, a ship serves as both home and lifeline: crews keep it stocked with ice, fuel and ammunition while using cannons, gadgets and sabotage to contend with opponents. The game’s varied roles support different approaches, from piloting and defending a vessel to boarding enemy ships. Cosmic storms, space creatures and alien ruins add environmental threats and opportunities to the struggle between crews.
The parent game describes three modes with different goals: seize an artifact and escape, fight rival teams in Fleet Battle, or salvage treasure and get away in Treasure Hunt. Its setting also emphasizes a procedurally generated Reach that changes with each game, making navigation part of the expedition. These details outline Wildgate’s distinctive blend of ship management, crew coordination and PvPvE competition, but the playtest’s specific contents may differ.
