Highguard Stays Quiet Weeks Before Its Jan. 26 Launch

Sparse official updates with thin storefront presence are fueling questions about the timeline.

Overview

  • Wildlight has not announced a delay, and the free-to-play shooter is still listed for January 26 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
  • Since the December 11 reveal at The Game Awards, the game’s official X account and YouTube channel have posted no new updates.
  • Trailer uploads drew sharply negative reactions, with coverage citing roughly a 1:10 like-to-dislike ratio across versions.
  • Storefront visibility remains limited, including a sparse Steam page and no PlayStation Store wishlist page reported by outlets tracking the listings.
  • Speculation about a slip stems from the silence and reception, though some coverage notes holiday downtime could explain the lull as the studio readies launch with cross-play and cross-progression.
