Moonshot Pauses Active Development of Wildgate After One Final Patch

Moonshot says weak player numbers mean it will halt further major updates and move the game into a low‑support maintenance phase.

Overview

  • The studio announced Thursday, June 25, that Wildgate will get one more large update in July and then pause active development.
  • The July 'last big patch' will add custom‑game options, clearer mode information, new sprays and store items, plus balance changes and bug fixes to keep matches playable.
  • After the update Moonshot will keep servers online and provide occasional fixes, balance tweaks, and small events while formal community management is reduced.
  • The Wildgate Discord will be handed over to the community, the core team will monitor servers, and Moonshot says no layoffs are planned as staff move to research and new projects.
  • Wildgate launched to mostly positive Steam reviews but saw its concurrent player numbers fall quickly despite PvE modes and a free trial, a trend that Moonshot says made ongoing investment unsustainable.
