The video game Highguard will be shut down permanently on March 12, according to developer Wildlight Entertainment. The free PVP shooter with raid elements was released after being presented at The Game Awards and had been kept secret beforehand. After its release, it was reportedly criticized by players.
Wildlight Entertainment stated that despite the passion and hard work of its team, it has not succeeded in building a sustainable player base to support the game long-term. According to reports, the studio laid off a majority of its staff a few weeks before the shutdown decision. Before the servers close, a final major update will be released, including a new character, a new weapon, a new level system, and new skills.
