Wildlight’s Highguard aims to outpace Overwatch with 3v3 PvP and cosmetics-only monetization

Wildlight’s debut game Highguard is a 3v3 PvP siege shooter launching Jan 26, 2026 across PC, Xbox Series X/S and PS5 with cross-play. The team emphasizes differences from Overwatch and Concord, offering a free-to-play, cosmetics-only monetization model (no RNG or pay-to-win) and an episodic content plan through 2026. At launch it includes five maps, six bases, eight Wardens, three mounts, ten weapons and a suite of raid tools, all developed by a ~100-person team that aims for long-term engagement rather than a quick exit.
