It’s always tough to share news like this, but the truth is that Highguard will be closing its servers next week, on March 12. Developer Wildlight has made this official with a brief announcement via the game’s Twitter account, providing minimal detail about what players can expect moving forward.
While it’s not unexpected given the fluctuations in player engagement for many titles, this developer’s raid shooter has had its share of highs and lows in the competitive landscape. The absence of Highguard will likely resonate with its dedicated community, who have put countless hours into battling through its unique challenges.
As we approach the shutdown date, it’s an appropriate moment to reflect on what this game brought to the table, even if it didn’t fully capture the widespread acclaim some had hoped for. For those still engaged with it, now is the time to dive back in and enjoy the remaining moments, as they look toward future prospects in the evolving world of gaming.
