Highguard is over, game will officially shut down on March 12

Highguard, the raid hero shooter infamously announced at the Game Awards, has announced it will shut down on March 12, 2026. The unfortunate news isn’t entirely surprising following the recent news that developer Wildlight laid off the vast majority of its employees.

The statement announcing the game’s shutdown was posted to Highguard’s social media accounts earlier today, alongside the news of one final update that will add a new Warden, new weapon, account level progression, and skill trees.
