Why is Highguard's website down?

What we know about the outage

The official site for the raid shooter has been taken offline, leaving only a logo and a brief "site unavailable" message. The studio behind the game has acknowledged the problem but described restoring the site as a low priority compared with ongoing development work.

Wildlight Entertainment says its team remains focused on delivering updates for the live game rather than spending time on the website. That framing comes after a turbulent launch: the title saw a rapid early player peak, layoffs at the studio, and a fast drop in active users. Separate reporting has also tied the studio’s funding to Tencent, though the scale and terms of that backing remain unclear.

Why this matters - Player support: a downed website complicates access to official support pages, patch notes, and storefront links, leaving community channels to carry those responsibilities. - Reputation: the public absence of even a basic site feeds concerns about a project’s stability after a rough launch and staff cuts. - Ongoing development: the studio’s choice to prioritise in-game fixes and updates suggests they are trying to stabilise the live service first, but it also means visible public-facing communication will lag.

What’s still unclear It’s not known exactly when the website will return, how much of the studio’s remaining resources are dedicated to ongoing updates, or whether the reported external funding will alter the long-term roadmap. For players, the immediate takeaway is that the team claims the game isn’t being abandoned and that in-game updates are the current focus — but trust and clarity around support and communications remain fragile.
