[1] News about the game began to leak during early-mid April 2013 with few details on mechanics, gameplay, or other elements.

A Kickstarter was set up as a means of gathering part of the funds required to obtain the rights and bring it back to life.

Despite successfully raising the sought after funds, the project was abandoned when the cost to acquire the IP was determined to be prohibitively high.

Dawngate is a team-oriented game where a group of five players (shapers) work together to complete objectives and destroy the enemy nexus.

Shapers also have access to wards that can be placed to provide vision to areas of the map for their team.

When starting the game and formulating a team, players choose what roles they would like to provide.
