Highguard's official webpage has been reduced to a placeholder page, and the developer Wildlight has not issued any public explanation. Separately, a report has surfaced alleging that the shooter received backing from Tencent, prompting fresh questions about how "indie" the project really is.

  • The game's site currently displays only a logo and an outage notice with a support contact and links to its Discord and Dwitter pages.
  • Site downtime has persisted for hours with no statement from developer Wildlight acknowledging the interruption.
  • A report circulating alongside the outage claims Tencent provided funding for Highguard, challenging the title's independent status.
  • The combination of the blackout and the financing claim has stirred player concern about transparency, publishing arrangements, and future support.
