This new title features players known as Wardens, who are arcane gunslingers battling for domination over a mythical continent. While the game was first revealed at The Game Awards 2025, it has since faced some negativity online. The recent showcase promises a comprehensive look at gameplay and plans for its first year. Highguard will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S, launching simultaneously across all platforms.
