Wildgate maker Moonshot laying off unspecified number of staff

Moonshot Games, the studio behind the recently launched Wildgate, is reducing its workforce after the game struggled to maintain a sustainable player base. Despite the initial buzz around its blend of action and strategy, Wildgate has not met expectations in terms of ongoing engagement or revenue. The developer has not disclosed the exact number of layoffs, but this move highlights the tough reality facing many mid-sized studios trying to carve out a space in the competitive live-service arena. Moonshot’s situation serves as a reminder that even promising projects can falter when the market shifts or audiences move on.
