Highguard is shutting down less than two months after launch
Wildlight Entertainment has announced that its free-to-play raid shooter Highguard will be shutting down its servers on March 12th, 2026, less than two months after its launch. Despite a passionate team and a final update planned, the game failed to build a sustainable player base, with funding from Tencent reportedly being pulled. Performance issues and controversial early gameplay decisions contributed to a poor first impression for the live service title.
