What to expect from Highguard

Highguard arrives from the makers of Titanfall and Apex Legends, and it’s a PvP raid shooter at its core. Players ride, raid, and fight one another to gain control of a mythical continent. While actual information is pretty sporadic at the time of writing, the key idea is pretty simple.

You’ll battle rival Warden crews to gain possession of the Shieldbreaker. Once done, you can break into and destroy the enemy base to gain victory. Of course, things won’t be easy when your opponents aim to do the same with your base. The fun begins on Monday, and it will be interesting to see if Highguard will manage to make a significant impact in an already-saturated genre.
