Highguard Leaks New Steampunk Character

Highguard is a curious example of a game trying to succeed as a live service title. It was first shown at The Game Awards in 2025, and then remained largely unseen until it launched on January 26, 2026. While many players tried the game initially, the number quickly fell due to negative reviews. Despite the game director saying player numbers aren’t important, the developer, Wildlight Entertainment, has already had to lay off a significant number of employees just weeks after launch. This puts the future of the game’s planned updates and additional content in doubt.
