Since Highguard was revealed at The Game Awards 2025, Wildlight Entertainment hasn’t shared much information about the game. Most fans have only seen the original trailer, and that’s been the extent of updates. It looks like a team-based hero shooter where two sides fight to destroy each other’s base. The game is being called a “raid shooter,” and players will use mounts like horses to move around the map quickly. They’ll fight enemies using weapons and special abilities, and the ultimate goal is to grab the Shieldbreaker sword, which summons a powerful ram to break into the enemy base. Luckily, it looks like fans will finally get some answers soon, although the timing is a bit strange.
