How to play Dawngate on Mac

Game summary
Dawngate was meant to be EA's foray into the MOBA eSports scene.
However after 18 months of beta it was announced that due to lack of sufficient returns and disappointing results, the servers would close down and support to the game would stop.
The game was team-oriented where a group of five players (shapers) work together to complete objectives and destroy the enemy guardian. Destroying the guardian would win the game for the team.
Players controlled hero characters named Shapers.
Shapers could have their stats modified by players by choosing spells and items, and had the ability to access wards that could be placed to provide vision to areas of the map for their team.
It was to be Free to Play and supported by micro transaction, like its competitors.
Play Dawngate on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Dawngate on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
Dawngate installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Dawngate like you would on any PC.
