Highguard, a hero shooter that peaked at 13,000 daily concurrent players in February, has plummeted to fewer than 700 players as developer Wildlight deploys a new fast-paced "Raid Rush" mode on February 27 to reverse its declining playerbase. The update strips away looting mechanics in favor of team-based base attack-and-defense gameplay, though industry observers remain skeptical about its potential to revive the game amid competition from resurgent titles like Overwatch.
