Wildgate Showdown on Twitch Rivals

40 streamers. 10 teams. 1 score. Unlimited space crimes. 😎

This week, we're partnering up with Twitch Rivals to bring you the Wildgate Showdown!

Featuring a collection of some of the coolest creator crews this side of the Typhon Reach (and a prize pool of $20,000 up for grabs), this event not only promises to bring you high-stakes chaos, but it will also be a world livestream premiere. That's right—the Twitch Rivals broadcasts will be the very first time anyone will be able watch live Wildgate gameplay in the wild.



[h3]THE CREWS[/h3]

So, who's heading into the Reach?

Ten captains were chosen by Twitch Rivals, with each captain given the responsibility of selecting three additional prospectors (a.k.a. streamer friends) to join their crew.

Be sure to visit the official Twitch Rivals page for this event to find the full list of participating captains and corresponding crews (as well as any last minute roster changes)!

[h3]THE FORMAT[/h3]

Wildgate is a match-based game featuring up to twenty players spread across five crews.

In the Wildgate Showdown, we'll have forty players participating—which means we'll have two groups of five crews battling simutaneously, each within their own match. There will be a total of eight matches over the event (or four rounds of two concurrent matches).

The goal of each match of Wildgate is to find and escape with an ancient Artifact, or to be the last crew flying. And for this showdown, there's also $20,000 on the line! Crews who secure a victory through either means will receive a portion of the prize pool (per victory).

While our creator crews are off causing chaos, a few prospectors will be hanging back to serve as our very own Mission Control over on the Twitch Rivals desk:

Tune in to the main event broadcast to watch these anchors in action as they spectate close-quarter clutches, breakdown epic ship battles, and share more about Wildgate.



Come for the first looks, stay for the shenigans.

And remember: no matter what happens...it's sure to be one hell of a ride!

Wildgate is a spacey crew-based shooter from the same ex-Blizzard folks working on Sunderfolk


Back in 2020, co-founder and former CEO of Blizzard Mike Morhaime formed Dreamhaven, essentially Blizzard 2, albeit a bit more explicit in the fact that it has different studios working under it. One of said studios, Secret Door, is currently working on co-op strategy game Sunderfolk, and today as part of a showcase presented by The Game Awards, the other studio Moonshot Games revealed its first title: Wildgate, a sci-fi shooter that sees you piloting ships around space looking for loot as you face off against other players.

Introducing Wildgate—a crew-based shooter featuring out-of-this-world spaceship combat!

In Wildgate, players ("Prospectors") team up in crews of four to venture into a hostile, unpredictable, and mysterious region of space ("The Reach") in search of an ancient relic known as the Artifact. While in pursuit of the Artifact, players must work together to pilot their spacecraft, plunder wreckage, and discover forgotten loot. To win, crews must successfully find and escape with the Artifact...or they can go for a domination victory, destroying all rival ships in the Reach by whatever means necessary.




Wildgate is coming in 2025 to Steam. 🎉
