Highguard Launches as Free-to-Play PvP Raid Shooter
The anticipated shooter from former Titanfall and Apex Legends developers launches worldwide. Highguard free PvP shooter is now available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, delivering medieval-themed team battles focused on base raiding. Developer Wildlight Entertainment also revealed a robust roadmap with free post-launch content during a recent showcase. The game mixes fantasy weaponry with fast-paced shooter mechanics for a unique competitive experience.
Fight for the Shieldbreaker in Team-Based Combat
Highguard centers on intense 5v5 matches where teams must defend their own base while raiding their opponent’s stronghold. The core objective revolves around securing the Shieldbreaker, a powerful item that enables you to breach the enemy vault. Consequently, matches create dynamic battles with clear attack and defense phases.
Each character, or Warden, possesses unique abilities that support distinct team roles. The game retains shooter fundamentals like precise aiming and movement, despite its fantasy aesthetic. This combination creates a familiar yet fresh tactical layer for team play.

Player reception at launch shows cautious optimism and growing interest. Steam player counts are steadily rising as players download the free-to-play title. Community reaction to the gameplay showcase is mixed, with some players praising the concept and others drawing early comparisons to other live-service shooters.
Wildlight Entertainment’s immediate roadmap promises new characters, maps, and events. The developers designed this plan to expand the game consistently after launch. Players can jump into Highguard without any cost to form their own opinion on this new competitive arena.
