It’s official: Wildgate is coming to Steam Next Fest.
Join us June 9-16 for our biggest playtest yet. One full week of unlimited game access, zero invites required. Everyone is welcome! So, bring your friends, build your crew, and get ready for unpredictable battles, unbelievable clutches, and hilariously unhinged stories to last a lifetime. (Plus, space crimes. Lots of space crimes.)
Mark your calendars and stay tuned for more details. We can’t promise you fame or glory…or that you’ll even make it out alive. But we can promise you this: it’s sure to be one hell of a ride.
