Highguard has shown a showcase to coincide with the release on January 26, 2026, which delves deeper into the contents of the raid shooter. The roadmap for the year was also presented. We will show you what to expect.
What highlights does the roadmap showcase? If you take a closer look at the plans, it quickly becomes apparent that a new update is planned for each month. They are divided into 6 episodes, each spanning 2 months.
In this, a new guardian will be available to play every 2 months. Additionally, there will be a new base every 2 months in turn. September is the exception. Furthermore, there will be 3 new maps throughout the year to provide more variety. New weapons, raid tools, amulets, mods, and 2 new mounts will also be introduced.
Notable are July and October: In July, there will be a limited-time new mode, and in October, a surprise is planned.

Highguard has just been released and seems to divide opinions. We also jumped in right from the start, and MeinMMO author Cedric Holmeier believes that theoretically, 3 other shooters are no longer needed: After one round in Highguard, I say: I no longer need 3 other shooters
