Highguard Initial Impressions From Early Testers Really Positive Despite Heavy Skepticism

Expert Verified By

Could Highguard Actually Turn Out To Be Impressive?

Story Highlight
  • People who got to play Highguard have shown a really positive response to the F2P title.
  • There was a lot of skepticism surrounding the title since it took a finale spot at TGA.
  • So, despite the doubt, the former Titanfall developers’ game might actually turn out great.

Highguard was recently revealed at The Game Awards, during a controversial finale spot. The title didn’t seem particularly extraordinary, given that the place was reserved for blockbusters, so people were really critical of it. 

However, despite the heavy skepticism surrounding the title, it seems that all early playtesters who were invited to experience Highguard had really positive things to say, suggesting that people might be wrong about it. 

Why it matters: Highguard was dubbed Concord 2.0, and people already dubbed it dead on arrival. This new development could mean we’re pleasantly surprised. 

Highguard impressions
Despite skepticism, Highguard might actually turn out good.

Ever since the event, Geoff Keighley has been hyping the free-to-play title. At the same time, the studio has remained mostly silent, which has only fueled even more skepticism about the game, but playtesters have suggested otherwise. 

Almost everyone who has experienced the title says it’s really fun, and they will be surprised by the quality. It is developed by Wildlight Entertainment, a team comprising former Apex Legends and Titanfall developers.

Early testers say the game will pleasantly surprise the audience.

So, despite everything, Highguard might actually turn out pretty good. It is entering a saturated genre already ruled by the likes of CS2 and Valorant, so it will have to do a lot to stand out and sustain its place. 

Nonetheless, the game drops on Monday, and all will be able to experience it then. It has managed to interest many people, but how it actually plays out will be seen when it launches tomorrow
