Highguard Releasing Big New Update for February 2026

Wildlight Entertainment reveals Episode 2 for its online shooter Highguard, adding a new playable Warden, map, Ranked mode, and plenty more content into the game. After its seemingly underwhelming reveal at The 2025 Game Awards, developer Wildlight Entertainment essentially went dark over the next month, leaving most fans puzzled at what Highguard would actually play like ahead of its January 26 launch. Considering the studio is largely made up of former Respawn Entertainment developers, the plan seems to have centered around a shadow drop reveal, similar to what they pulled off originally with Apex Legends.
