A Wildlight Entertainment encerrará os servidores de seu shooter de raid multijogador gratuito Highguard em 12 de março de 2026 — 45 dias após o lançamento — citando receita insuficiente e incapacidade de manter uma base de jogadores, apesar de mais de 2 milhões de usuários, pico de quase 100.000 jogadores simultâneos e atualizações pós-lançamento. Uma atualização final de conteúdo está planejada antes do fechamento.

Highguard, Wildlight Entertainment's multiplayer shooter, has gone offline on March 12, 2026—less than two months after launch—following last week's shutdown announcement amid player retention and funding woes. A former Naughty Dog artist who designed early concept art for hero Condor has sworn off live-service projects, while a Kotaku writer mourned the game's unique chill vibe.

Free-to-play shooter Highguard from Wildlight Entertainment closes on March 12, 2026—making today, March 11, the final day—following last week's shutdown announcement amid layoffs, Tencent funding withdrawal, and ongoing performance woes. Available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, the game saw player counts drop to double digits last week after a troubled launch.

Developer Wildlight Entertainment has issued update 1.006 for Highguard on February 12, 2026, introducing technical improvements, balance adjustments, and bug fixes. The patch aims to enhance performance and gameplay flow across platforms. Console versions reach complete version 1.006.000.

Wildlight Entertainment has laid off the majority of its team working on the live-service shooter Highguard, just weeks after the game's release, but confirmed that a core group will continue supporting it. Former tech artist Josh Sobel highlighted the toxic online reaction that followed the game's reveal, including personal harassment and review bombing. The studio expressed pride in its work and gratitude to players who engaged with the game.

New details reveal that Highguard's prominent closing reveal at The Game Awards 2025 came without sponsorship fees, thanks to showrunner Geoff Keighley's personal support. As the free-to-play hero shooter nears its January 26, 2026 launch amid mixed buzz from its December debut, sources confirm the slot was an organic showcase opportunity.
