Highguard Devs Cut Staff Weeks After Launch
12 Feb
Summary
- Highguard developer Wildlight Entertainment laid off staff shortly after launch.
- The game reached nearly 100,000 concurrent players on Steam launch day.
- Highguard currently holds a 'Mixed' rating on Steam with significantly fewer players.

Wildlight Entertainment, the developer behind the newly released multiplayer shooter Highguard, has begun laying off employees. This news emerged just over two weeks after the game's official launch on January 26th.
Highguard experienced a robust debut on Steam, attracting close to 100,000 concurrent players on its first day. Despite this initial success, the game's reception has cooled, reflected by a "Mixed" user rating on Steam and a substantial drop in active players.
The extent of the layoffs and their potential impact on Highguard's future development remain unclear. Wildlight Entertainment has not yet publicly commented on the situation.
