Highguard Is Dead — Studio Lays Off Developers
Another dead game, another round of layoffs.
Developers at Wildlight, the studio behind Highguard, have confirmed staff layoffs in a LinkedIn post—just months after the game failed to win over players.
One developer revealed that a large amount of unreleased content was in development before the layoffs, content that will now likely never be released. But with Highguard already widely disliked and largely ignored, many players are asking the obvious question:
👉 Was this game already dead anyway?
In this video, we cover:
The LinkedIn post confirming layoffs
Why Highguard was hated by so many players
How low interest and backlash sealed its fate
Why these layoffs feel inevitable, not surprising
Highguard struggled from the start, failed to build momentum, and now the studio is cutting developers. For most players, this doesn’t feel tragic—it feels like the final confirmation.
💬 Be honest: did Highguard ever have a chance, or was it doomed from day one?
