The troubled siege shooter's short life is coming to an end.

Quote from whoever is left at the developer:

"Today we’re sharing difficult news. We have made the decision to permanently shut down Highguard on March 12.

Since launch, more than 2 million players stepped into Highguard’s world. You shared feedback, created content, and many believed in what we were building. For that, we are deeply grateful.

Despite the passion and hard work of our team, we have not been able to build a sustainable player base to support the game long term. Servers will remain online until March 12th. We hope you’ll jump in with us one more time to show your support and get those final great matches in while we still can.

The team is excited to release one final game update to enjoy in the remaining life of the game. We’ll be adding a new Warden, a new weapon, account level progression, and skill trees! Full patch notes are coming, and we’re targeting tonight or tomorrow morning for patch release.

From all of us at Wildlight, thank you for playing, for supporting us, and for being part of Highguard’s story."

    They actually wanted to release SOONER. They wanted to do the whole shadow drop at the game awards and go “AVAILABLE NOW!” But it wasn’t ready yet. 😥

    Then they went dead silent until the launch a few weeks later.

      Good point, guess it was never to be then as they obviously lacked a proper plan which would have reared its head regardless.
