The Game Awards finale reveals Highguard, a brand new PvP shooter

The Game Awards usually ends with a massive sequel trailer, a long-rumored remake, or a major studio’s new IP. So the 2025 show delivered an actual twist by building up to the debut of a completely original game deep into production by a debut studio. Highguard is a new shooter from a studio made up of vets from Apex Legends, Titanfall, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare — and it’s coming soon.
