Just over a month after it launched, the axe has fallen on the troubled PvP shooter Highguard. Developer Wildlight Entertainment announced today that the game's next update will be its last, and it will be taken offline on March 12.

"Since launch, more than 2 million players stepped into Highguard’s world," Wildlight wrote in an announcement shared on X. "You shared feedback, created content, and many believed in what we were building. For that, we are deeply grateful.
