online battle arena (MOBA) game, by joining the Community Beta. Starting

Dawngate features an intense competitive online experience that

rapid, team-based combat.
Join us at PAX East: Waystone Games will be offering a hands-on
experience of Dawngate at the Penny
Arcade Expo EAST in Boston from Apr. 11-13. In addition to the
friendly competition in the PC Room, there will be opportunities to meet
the Waystone Games development team and celebrate the official launch of
the online graphic novel, The Dawngate Chronicles, with artist
Nicholas Kole. Plus, players can attend the Dawngate Panel,
and all PAX East attendees will be receiving an exclusive bonus skin in
their registration bags. Those unable to attend the show can stay
connected throughout the event by watching the live stream at www.twitch.tv/waystonegames.
"We wanted Dawngate to look and feel like a true MOBA experience,
but add something fresh and new to the core design by offering a
flexible Meta to gameplay," said Dave Cerra, Lead Producer on Dawngate.
"We feel that giving players the freedom to tailor each Shaper's role to
their own personal play style makes a powerful impact in the overall
experience and sets Dawngate apart."
New Online Graphic Novel: This Friday will mark the official
launch of the new interactive online graphic novel, The
Dawngate Chronicles. Brought to life through lush line-work and
gorgeous color, The Dawngate Chronicles is a unique interactive
story that Waystone Games will author in collaboration with the players.
With every game played, the Dawngate community will guide how the
story unfolds to dictate the fate of everything, from their favorite
characters to entire nations - even driving the addition of new content
directly back into the game.
Discover Dawngate: Dawngate is a multiplayer online
battle arena game that features fast-paced team combat and a flexible
Meta that lets gamers play their way. With the freedom to choose a role
that isn't dependent on the player's choice of Shaper, Dawngate
expands its Meta by celebrating personal play styles. Featuring two
teams of five Shapers, two lanes and a huge jungle, the game also
introduces unique economy-based objectives like Spirit Wells to create a
new strategic landscape. Each match ends with an intense fight against
the enemy team and their Guardian, and gives players the chance to earn
Blessings from their allies and foes. Blessings are loot drops that
reward how well gamers played, and commends them for teamwork and
sportsmanship.
