Highguard was announced during today’s Game Awards, developed by Wildlight Entertainment, a new studio formed by ex-Respawn devs who’d worked on Apex Legends and Titanfall.
Described as a fresh take on the first-person shooter genre, the game is a “PvP raid shooter” that seemingly features elements borrowed from hero shooters and tower defense games. It has a lot going on with ultimate abilities, horseback riding and destructive elements.
The game is reportedly deep in development with plenty of gameplay shown, and a January 26th release date.
From the creators of Apex Legends and Titanfall, comes Highguard: a PvP raid shooter where players will ride, fight, and raid as Wardens, arcane gunslingers sent to battle for control of a mythical continent. There they’ll clash against rival Warden crews for possession of the Shieldbreaker, then break into and destroy the enemy base to secure territory in this all-new breed of shooter.
