Highguard Closes Its Doors Just Weeks After Launch - GameHaunt
Wildlight Entertainment's free-to-play raid shooter Highguard will shut down its servers on March 12, 2026, just 45 days after its late January launch. Despite attracting nearly 100,000 peak concurrent players on Steam and over 2 million total players, the game failed to retain daily active users due to harsh feedback on its format and loot systems. Tencent reportedly pulled funding, leading to significant layoffs at Wildlight Entertainment.
