New fantasy FPS Highguard has a full year of post-launch content "deep in development," split up into episodes to counteract "live-service fatigue": "We're building a game that people want to come back to"

After closing out The Game Awards last year and a slightly scant marketing campaign since, Highguard is now available on Steam. The fantasy FPS managed to attract nearly 100,000 players on launch, and the devs at Wildlight Entertainment have a solid 12-month roadmap in place for updates.

The team speaks about its plans in a showcase video to mark the shooter’s release. "We knew when we started that we wanted to make a shooter, and we knew that we wanted to make something that was live-service," Jason Torfin, VP of product and publishing and game writer, says.
