Highguard is back in the spotlight, but not exactly for new content updates. Following the recent wave of layoffs linked to the project, the game’s official website has gone dark, setting off alarm bells within the community.

For several hours (and at the time of this publication) the online shooter’s portal has failed to load properly. No official statement has been issued on social media, and no explanations have been given, fueling speculation about the project’s true status.

The shutdown of Highguard’s website adds to the uncertainty

The website’s collapse comes at a delicate time. The title, which was born as a free-to-play experience with post-launch support planned for its first year, was already facing doubts after the staff cuts. The lack of official communication has only increased the unease.

Some players point to the possibility of a temporary technical issue. However, others fear that this move could signal a more profound change in direction, especially considering that interest in the game never really took off, even after the update that added a new playable character.

For now, there is no confirmation of closure or official announcement about the project’s future. Until official information is released, the situation remains uncertain, although the context doesn’t exactly inspire optimism.
