In a few days, the free PVP shooter Highguard will launch on Steam. Since the announcement, there has been no new information about the game. Now the developers are announcing a stream that will showcase the new content. However, that will only come with the release.
What kind of stream will it be? On X, the developers announced a showcase for the Highguard launch. It should provide deeper insights into the game directly from the development studio. This includes a full deep dive into the gameplay, all the plans for the first year, and much more.
You can read the full post from the developers on X:
When does the stream start? The showcase is set to take place on January 26, 2026, the day Highguard launches on Steam. If you want to tune in, you should keep an eye out at 7:00 PM Central European Time, as that’s when the stream begins.
A shooter that probably not everyone of you had on their radar
Why is this so surprising? The free shooter Highguard was first presented at the Game Awards 2025 in December. Since then, it has gone very quiet about the game, which is why many shooter fans probably don’t have the upcoming release on their minds.
Even with the reveal, there was little information. The developers themselves have labeled the game as a PVP raid shooter. But how such a raid will function remains a secret so far. All the information we have been able to gather from the trailer, MeinMMO has analyzed in a separate article.
Therefore, it is hardly surprising that several users are making fun of the upcoming stream in the comments, which takes place with the launch.
What do users say about the announcement of the showcase? One user writes that “Brother finally remembers the password.” He jokingly refers to the fact that in his world, one of the developers might have forgotten his password for the company account and can only now post what was actually supposed to be an announcement.
Many agree with him and write that this is a strange marketing campaign. Additionally, some commenters wonder if the hate was so great that one had to wait a month and 2 weeks to finally promote the game. Many players are comparing Highguard with the failed Concord.
Even the publisher Devolver Digital is joining in. He asks the development team from Wildlight Entertainment if they still need a publisher. There’s still time for that – so, 2 days before the release.
If you want to give the game a chance before the release despite the disastrous marketing campaign, you should keep an eye on the coming days. MeinMMO will tell you everything important about the release and what to watch out for during the launch: Highguard – Everything Important about Release, Platforms, and Gameplay
