If you’ve been following the development of multiplayer extraction RPG Wildgate and haven’t yet dipped a toe in, you’re about to get your easiest entry yet. The cutesy co-op space game by Moonshot Games – yes, the one published by Mike Morhaime’s Dreamhaven – has announced that the game is swinging open its blast doors for the Steam Next Fest with a fresh demo.

“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, prospectors, 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.”

You don’t need to sign up for this one, just download the demo from Steam once it’s available. Do note that if you hopped into past tests, you won’t be able to pick up where you left off, and nothing you do during the demo will persist into the live game either. Still, it’ll be a chance for the space-crimes looky-loos.
