Highguard Confirms When Fans Will Get to See the Game Next

by

As the release of Highguard nears – just days away! – Wildlight Entertainment is finally sharing details about the game. They’ll be hosting a showcase to reveal an in-depth look at gameplay, plus their plans for the year after launch. The game’s development has been quite a ride. When Wildlight Entertainment – which includes former developers from popular games like Titanfall and Apex Legends – was first announced, it generated a lot of excitement. However, the initial gameplay trailer left many players confused.

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.

Highguard Announces an In-Depth Showcase For Next Week

  • January 26 at 10am PT/1pm ET

Okay, so remember that game Highguard we all got hyped about? Well, the developers, Wildlight Entertainment, finally spoke up again! After going totally silent for over a month after the initial announcement, they’ve scheduled a proper gameplay reveal for January 26th at 10am PT. It’s only their fourth tweet ever about the game, but they’re promising a really deep dive – we’re talking full gameplay details and what their plans are for the first year of content. Honestly, a lot of people are commenting on how weird their marketing has been – they announced the game, then just disappeared for a month right before launch! It’s a bit strange, but hopefully, this reveal will be worth the wait.

What’s unusual about this announcement is the showcase is scheduled for the same day the game is set to release. This suggests the game might become available immediately after the showcase ends. It looks like Wildlight is aiming for a launch similar to how Respawn surprised everyone with Apex Legends, which makes sense given the studio includes many developers who previously worked on that game. However, Apex Legends appeared unexpectedly, with only rumors and leaks beforehand. In contrast, Highguard was fully revealed at The Game Awards in December 2025, and the reaction seemed rather muted.

Okay, so I’m super hyped! After some trophies for the upcoming Highguard were leaked yesterday, we’re getting a really good look at what’s coming. It looks like there will be five different classes to play, and each one will probably have unique abilities for both defending and attacking. But the coolest part? There’s this awesome weapon called the BigRig LMG that’ll appear during matches. It sounds like whoever gets it will have a huge advantage – there’s even a trophy you can earn by destroying three ‘iron walls’ with it in one game! I can’t wait to try it out.

Luckily, fans won’t have to wait much longer to try out the game themselves. The best part is that Highguard is free to play, so anyone who’s intrigued by what they’ve seen can easily give it a shot.
