Former Titanfall Devs Trade In Mechs For Horses In New Fantasy Raid Shooter Highguard

The Game Awards 2025 ended with a final announcement: a new game called Highguard from Wildlight, a development team featuring veterans of Titanfall 2 and Apex Legends. And good news for players – they’ll be able to try it out in just a few weeks!

The latest gameplay trailer reveals Highguard is similar to Apex Legends in its hero-based team play, but focuses on completing objectives in raids rather than the last-player-standing battle royale format. The game’s story and world are also unique, blending high fantasy elements like magic, horses, and companions with a futuristic, sci-fi style for character powers and weapons.

Highguard, a game on Steam, is a player-versus-player shooter focused on raids. Players take on the role of Wardens – skilled gunslingers who battle for control of a legendary continent. Teams compete to capture the Shieldbreaker and then raid enemy bases to claim territory, offering a unique take on the shooter genre.

Highguard won’t be releasing exactly as originally planned, but it’s launching very soon! It’s scheduled to arrive on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC on January 26th, and just like Apex Legends, it will be free to play.
