Highguard’s Player Count Has Already Plummeted by 80%

Highguard, the debut game from Wildlight Entertainment, has already experienced a huge decline in players, but it’s still far too early to count it out. Highguard was the “one last thing” announcement at The Game Awards 2025, which is something that didn’t really do the new live-service game any favors. Putting it in that spot only led to disappointment and honestly didn’t give the game a fair shot in the public eye, with many quick to compare it to PlayStation’s failed Concord experiment.
