Highguard Could Be Making a Huge Change

As a fan, I have to say the way they released Highguard was… interesting, to say the least! They first showed it off at The Game Awards 2025, but after that, it was radio silence for months. It turns out they were planning a total shadow drop, kind of like what Apex Legends did. And it definitely got people talking – the game blew up on Steam right away with tons of reviews and players jumping in. But… it hasn’t been a smooth launch. A lot of those initial reviews were negative, and right now the game is sitting at a “Mixed” rating on Steam. Only about 43% of players are giving it a positive review, which is a tough spot to be in right after launch.
