Just before launch, Highguard devs told PC Gamer it wouldn’t need huge player numbers to succeed.

Just over two weeks after releasing the “PvP raid shooter” Highguard on Steam, developer Wildlight Entertainment has reportedly laid off an unspecified but seemingly large number of employees.

In addition to Graner’s LinkedIn post, multiple other developers with full-time roles at the studio have shared that they’re also looking for work. “My position was impacted by the studio layoffs at Wildlight today. This has been an incredible team, and it’s immensely difficult to process that the ride is over,” shared principal sound designer Geoffrey Garnett, whose previous credits include Marathon, Overwatch, and a long list of triple-A games.
