Highguard’s January 26 Launch Faces Doubts After Month of Silence
The free-to-play shooter from former Apex Legends/Titanfall developers has gone quiet since its divisive Game Awards reveal.
Overview
- Highguard is still listed for a January 26 release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, and no official delay has been announced.
- Forbes reports no new posts or videos from Wildlight since December 11 and notes roughly 5,800 followers on X and about 1,300 YouTube subscribers.
- The reveal trailer drew heavily negative reactions, with uploads approaching a 1:10 like-to-dislike ratio, according to Forbes.
- Social media users have speculated about a delay, a shadow-drop strategy, or constrained marketing resources, though none of these scenarios is confirmed.
- ComicBook.com argues the silence may reflect typical holiday downtime at studios and contends a delay is unlikely based on current information.
