40+ days after it was first revealed as the \u201clast big thing\u201d at The Game Awards in December,<\/a> Highguard\u2019s social media account finally posted again, breaking a long radio silence and leading to a lot of reactions from gamers online.<\/p>\n

On January 23, the official Highguard Twitter account announced a \u201cLaunch Showcase\u201d live stream happening on the game\u2019s release date of January 26. This is the first time the account has posted anything since replying to someone\u2019s reaction<\/a> to the initial reveal trailer back on December 12.<\/p>\n

\u201cTune in on Monday, January 26, at 10am PT for the Highguard Launch Showcase,\u201d posted the Highguard account. \u201cHere, we\u2019ll share an in-depth look at Highguard direct from the studio, featuring a full gameplay deep dive, year one plans, and much more.\u201d<\/p>\n

What\u2019s going on with Highguard? <\/p>\n

Since its reveal in December, Highguard has had a strange few weeks. Being the big reveal at the end of the Game Awards<\/a>, which reportedly the company didn\u2019t pay for, got it a lot of eyeballs, but also a lot of scrutiny. People tend to expect some big new sequel or long-awaited project to cap off host Geoff Keighley\u2019s annual award and trailer showcase. Instead, Geoff showcased a free-to-play online shooter that, to many online, looked too similar to many other games already out there. That initial trailer didn\u2019t do a great job explaining what it is, and by and large, people weren\u2019t excited.<\/p>\n

Since then, the people behind Highguard have been radio silent, which has led to more discourse around its radio silence and discussion over what little we\u2019ve seen so far. So this new tweet from the main account caught a lot of people\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n

\u201cBro finally remembered the password,\u201d posted popular Fortnite leaker Shiina.<\/p>\n

\u201cI logged in specifically just to mute you,\u201d said another user on Twitter.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh my word, they are alive,\u201d posted someone else.<\/p>\n

\u201cDead game,\u201d tweeted another user, because of course, at least one person had to shout this overused insult.<\/p>\n

To be clear, there are some positive replies, too. People are excited to see what the game actually is, or people are just happy the devs aren\u2019t giving up on it. Regardless of sentiment, Highguard clearly has the attention of a lot of people online, even if some of them are rooting for it to fail while others are just curious as to how this all ends. We won\u2019t have to wait long to see more as Highguard\u2019s big launch day stream kicks off on January 26. Meanwhile, the game launches that day on consoles and PC. I suspect a lot of eyeballs will once again be watching.<\/p>\n
