Highguard Developer Addresses Player Concerns Over Website Outage and Potential Shutdown

Highguard’s launch was marked by soaring excitement, yet the game has faced significant challenges since its debut. Following a sharp decline in player engagement, concerns arose recently when the game’s official website went offline. This situation prompted many to question the future of this PvP shooter.

Upon its release, Highguard attracted an impressive player base, peaking at approximately 100, 000 active users eager to test the new title. Unfortunately, this enthusiasm waned rapidly, with current statistics indicating a staggering 98% drop in players, leaving fewer than 1, 000 concurrent gamers, as of this writing.

The recent shutdown of the game’s website, coupled with widespread layoffs, intensified fears regarding a potential game closure. In light of these worries, developers have stepped forward to clarify the situation.

Developer Addresses Community Concerns

A developer from Highguard took to the game’s Discord channel to reassure players. They stated, “not sure on the timeframe, but [the website] basically needs to be transferred and simplified. Low priority atm (reputational damage already done).Now we just need to focus on delivering updates and content to improve.”

This statement emphasizes that the website outage does not equate to the demise of the game itself. The development team’s current focus remains on enhancing the gaming experience through updates and additional content, with the aim of rejuvenating player interest.

While there is no specific timeline regarding when the website will be restored, the developer’s comments provide a glimmer of hope to the community that Highguard is not heading towards shutdown anytime soon.
