Highguard 2026
Highguard is a 2026 hero shooter video game developed and published by Wildlight Entertainment. It was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on January 26, 2026. The game functions as a player versus player (PvP) raid shooter where players assume the role of "Wardens" in team-based matches that merge first-person shooter elements with mounted combat and destructible terrain.
Upon launch, Highguard garnered a mixed critical response, with player numbers declining 90% from its initial peak within seven days. The game ceased operations on March 12, 45 days after its release, due to an inability to build a stable player community and the removal of its main financial supporter.
