Wildlight calls time on Highguard, ending its six-week run
TL;DR Summary
Wildlight will permanently shut down the free-to-play hero shooter Highguard on March 12 after failing to build a sustainable player base and revenue, despite more than two million players since launch. A final patch will add a new Warden, weapon, account level progression, and skill trees before servers go offline.
