Highguard releases with a massive launch showcase trailer, server login queues galore — and its first big update is coming in just two weeks

Remember Highguard, that new FPS game that closed out The Game Awards 2025 last month? Following the scathingly negative reception from players annoyed that former Titanfall and Apex Legends developers had come together to make another hero shooter, it and its studio Wildlight Entertainment gave the gaming community the silent treatment as its late January release date approached.

Now, though, that launch is here — and the free-to-play "PvP raid shooter" has officially dropped on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC (on Steam), and PS5 with something of a re-reveal showcase that explores what Highguard is and shows how its gameplay loop stands out compared to other titles in the genre.
