"This is our final update and it's big. Props to the skeleton crew at Wildlight for wanting to finish it and ship it to our remaining players, even if it only gets played by a few thousand people. They weren't asked to. They asked if they could finish it up and get it out there."
"None of this was done at launch. Especially the Skill Trees. The team crunched the last few weeks to get it done. Some stuff (Koldo, Switchback) was partially done, scheduled for future seasons. The team picked the stuff that was closest to completion and finished it up."
Highguard, a hero shooter developed by Wildlight Entertainment, is closing its servers in less than two weeks but released its biggest update ever. The final update introduces Koldo, a tank character, the Switchback marksman rifle, and a comprehensive XP and skill tree system allowing players to customize hero builds across four subclasses: Raider, Harvester, Treasure Hunter, and Protector. Creative director Jason McCord explained the skeleton crew pushed to complete the update despite the game's imminent shutdown, with team members volunteering to finish partially completed content scheduled for future seasons. The update arrives after studio head Chad Grenier addressed conspiracy theories about the game's failure.
