Shortly after Highguard's release, Wildlight underwent staffing cuts that affected the studio's team working on the title. The publisher has confirmed the project will continue to be supported by a smaller, dedicated group of developers rather than being closed down.

  • Layoffs occurred only weeks after Highguard launched, though the exact number of roles eliminated has not been revealed.
  • Wildlight says the remaining "core group" will handle ongoing support, keeping the game operational and addressing issues.
  • With fewer hands on deck, update frequency and longer-term feature plans may be adjusted as the team focuses on essentials.
  • The studio's statement aims to reassure players that Highguard will not be abandoned despite the internal restructuring.
