Although Wildlight Entertainment's official channels remain silent, the SteamDB update history shows that developers are actively working behind the scenes: tags and game packages have recently been changed. Everything indicates that the release will take place on Monday, January 26, 2026, on PC and current generation consoles.
The project attracted attention at The Game Awards last year, where the debut trailer was met with a cool reception, but showrunner Geoff Keighley was so impressed that he provided the final spot in the program for free. Highguard is backed by industry veterans who have worked on Titanfall and Apex Legends, which gives hope for a high level of shooting and movement in the game.
Currently, there is a special silence around Highguard, but social networks are increasingly talking about the project as a "dark horse" of the beginning of the year. The lack of traditional marketing unexpectedly increases interest in the project.
