Highguard Developers Encounter Mass Layoffs Shortly After Launch

Wildlight Entertainment Faces Layoffs Following Highguard Launch

In a surprising turn of events, Wildlight Entertainment, renowned for its development of the recently launched game Highguard, appears to be undergoing significant layoffs only 17 days after the game’s servers became operational.

Reports indicate that numerous developers at the California-based studio are being impacted by these layoffs. While the total number of affected employees remains uncertain, sources suggest that a substantial portion of the team may be facing job cuts.

One of the laid-off developers, Level Designer Alex Graner, took to LinkedIn to share his experience: “Unfortunately, along with most of the team at Wildlight, I was laid off today. This one really stings as there was a lot of unreleased content I was really looking forward to that I and others designed for Highguard.”
