After its launch on January 26, Highguard attracted public attention: at the start, the shooter's peak was about 97,000 simultaneous players on Steam, according to SteamDB data. However, just three weeks after the release, the game's audience decreased by 98%.
Due to the rapid decline in audience and financial pressure, the developers from Wildlight Entertainment were forced to conduct mass layoffs.
Now the Highguard website has become unavailable (for four hours at the time of publication), which makes many doubt the future of the project.
