Highguard Episode 7 2026 Roadmap Content—December

Okay, so I’ve jumped into Highguard, and honestly, it looks amazing. But you know how it is with these live service games – it’s hard to say if it’ll keep people hooked long-term. I’m still figuring things out and seeing what the game’s really about. If you’re playing too, let’s chat about it! Come share your thoughts and what you think of the content over on the TopMob Discord – I’m curious to hear what everyone else is experiencing.

Also, be sure to find out if Highguard supports crossplay and what the game’s file size is on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
