Wildlight's Highguard folds after 46-day run, servers close March 12
TL;DR
Wildlight Studios' live-service shooter Highguard is shutting down on March 12, just 46 days after its January launch. The final update will add a new character, weapon, and updated skill trees as the team winds down. Wildlight attributed the closure to an unsustainable player base and funding challenges after Tencent pulled support, noting more than two million players had tried the game and that servers will remain online until the shutdown date.
