Highguard was a hero shooter video game developed and published by Wildlight Entertainment. It was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on January 26, 2026. A player versus player (PvP) raid shooter, the game cast players as "Wardens" competing in team-based matches combining first-person shooter mechanics with mounted combat and destructible environments.
Highguard received a mixed critical reception upon launch, with player counts dropping 90% from its launch peak within a week. The game was shut down on March 12, less than 50 days after its release, following a failure to establish a sustainable player-base and the withdrawal of its primary financial backer.
