After a period of radio silence from the developers since its reveal, it turns out Highguard is indeed coming out today. This free-to-play title, developed by the creators of Apex Legends and Titanfall, is a PvP raid shooter launching on PC and consoles in just a few hours.

Highguard Release Date Timer

Currently, only the Steam page for Highguard is available to wishlist on, along with its corresponding SteamDB entry. Here, it’s confirmed that Highguard is launching at exactly 10:00 AM PST, which I’m assuming is a global simultaneous launch. I’ve set up a countdown timer for the exact time:
