Highguard’s recent launch has sparked a significant conversation in the gaming community, particularly around the importance of visibility for new titles. As Wildlight Entertainment’s creative director Jason McCord pointed out, the key to success for a live service game is to “get eyeballs on your game.” This insight underscores the challenges that new games face in a crowded market, where first impressions can make or break a title’s future. Despite a mixed reception at launch, Highguard has shown resilience, quickly addressing community feedback with a patch that enhances performance and introduces a highly anticipated 5v5 mode.
