Moonshot Games Cuts Staff After Wildgate Falls Short on Players

Dreamhaven says the reductions aim to preserve support for Wildgate following a brief Epic Games Store bump.

Overview

  • Dreamhaven confirmed layoffs at Moonshot Games, citing player counts that cannot sustain the previous development team size.
  • The company did not disclose how many roles were eliminated.
  • Wildgate’s early January launch on the Epic Games Store brought a temporary increase in activity that Dreamhaven said was insufficient to change staffing needs.
  • Live operations will continue, with a content update expected later this quarter that adds a progression system and other quality-of-life improvements.
  • Dreamhaven previously conducted layoffs in September 2025 that mainly affected its publishing team.
