Highguard Launch Approaches: Hero Shooter from Former Titanfall 2 Devs | VIPPH

Highguard, the new free-to-play, hero-based shooter from former Titanfall 2 and Apex Legends developers, is set to release on January 26. Despite a low-key marketing approach, subtle updates to its Steam listing suggest the game is on track for launch without delays. For VIPPH followers, anticipation is building as players prepare to experience this blend of hero shooting and PvP raiding gameplay.

Since its reveal, Highguard’s Steam page has received multiple behind-the-scenes updates, including changes to tags and package options. The listing still remains sparse, featuring only a brief description, debut trailer, and a handful of screenshots. This minimalistic marketing strategy appears intentional, designed to pique curiosity and encourage early installations at launch.

The game's official website maintains a countdown to release, but other social channels have been relatively silent. Highguard also gained attention when it closed Geoff Keighley’s TGA ceremony, reportedly earning the spot on merit rather than sponsorship. This has added to the intrigue and speculation about the game’s potential impact.

With launch imminent, VIPPH players and shooter fans alike are eager to see whether Highguard can deliver on its promises, or if it will face challenges typical of ambitious new titles. The coming days will reveal if this new hero shooter can make a mark in the crowded free-to-play arena.
