Highguard Set to Launch on January 26 at 6 PM UTC

The highly anticipated free-to-play first-person shooter, Highguard, is set to launch on January 26, 2024, at 6 PM UTC. While the official release time has not been explicitly confirmed by developer Wildlight Entertainment, the game’s Steam page indicates that this is when players can expect to dive into the action.

As the release date approaches, players should note that pre-orders and pre-load options are not available. This means gamers will need to refresh the Steam, PlayStation, or Xbox storefronts until the game becomes accessible. This lack of pre-loading may lead to a rush during the launch, as players vie to download the game immediately.

For players in various parts of the world, the release time translates as follows:

– West Coast US: 10 AM PST
– East Coast US: 1 PM EST
– United Kingdom: 6 PM GMT
– Central Europe: 7 PM CET
– Eastern Australia: 5 AM AEDT on January 27

The alignment of the launch time with the developers’ scheduled showcase adds to the excitement. The event will commence at 6 PM UTC and promises a comprehensive gameplay presentation along with details on the first year of content.

Game Requirements and Download Details

As players prepare for download, it is important to note that Highguard requires approximately 25 GB of storage space on PC. Additionally, players must ensure that Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 are enabled on their systems to run the game effectively. Currently, the game is not listed on the Xbox or PlayStation stores, further emphasizing the need for players to remain vigilant as the release time approaches.

Ultimately, gamers eager to engage in the fight for possession of the Shieldbreaker will need to stay tuned for the official unlock at 6 PM UTC on the day of release. As anticipation builds, the community’s excitement reflects the growing interest in the new title from Wildlight Entertainment.
