Upcoming MOBA aiming to offer a community-driven lore; currently taking sign-ups for closed beta.

 

Electronic Arts is getting involved with the burgeoning MOBA genre with its own League of Legends and Dota 2 rival: Dawngate.

A site for the upcoming game has appeared, though games industry sleuth superannuation notes that EA might have set it live early–links to the Dawngate Facebook, Twitter, and Twitch accounts are all currently inactive.

“Dawngate is a new MOBA,” reads the site, “built from the ground up to look and feel familiar while offering a whole new way to experience MOBA gameplay.”

The website does not detail exactly how debut studio Waystone Games intends to differentiate itself from its genre peers, but hints at a community-driven lore and an emphasis on character customisation. “Dawngate empowers you to forge the champions you love for the roles you want in a competitive arena, shaped by ever-evolving, community-driven content and story.”

Interested users can sign up to the Dawngate beta from the website, which requires an account on EA’s digital platform Origin.
