Highguard Boss Issues Statement on Game’s Player Count

The new online shooter, Highguard, got off to a bit of a rough beginning. It was surprisingly revealed at The Game Awards 2025 – a prime announcement slot usually saved for major developers like Capcom and Naughty Dog. It turns out Geoff Keighley offered that spot to Highguard‘s creators, Wildlight Entertainment, for free. While they initially planned a surprise release, they decided the exposure from the Game Awards was too good to pass up. After the announcement, Wildlight stopped communicating with the public, but the game launched on January 26th to a generally mixed response from players.
