Highguard preview: 4 hours with one of the best new shooters in years

Ever since its reveal to close out the 2025 The Game Awards, Highguard has been the subject of much chatter. Some people wondered if it’ll be the next Concord, or commented on the lack of visible marketing since its reveal, and pretty much everyone has had questions about what the game actually is. Though a certain group of vocal gamers are no doubt counting on Highguard to fail, they’re going to be disappointed to hear this: Highguard freakin’ slaps.
