Just like you, I don't know much about Highguard, but I do know when it launches. The upcoming first-person shooter from former Apex Legends and Titanfall developers caused a stir when it was revealed at last year's Game Awards, and questions have been swirling ever since. Thankfully, none of us has to wait long to dive into the game and experience it for ourselves.

Much about Highguard has been highly secretive, and even the release time was being kept somewhat under wraps, but Steam reveals all our secrets, it seems. While this is not exact, and the devs could decide to go live earlier or later, if they wish, Steam currently advises that the release times for Highguard are as follows.

  • January 26, 10 AM PST
  • January 26, 1 PM EST
  • January 26, 6 PM GMT
  • January 26, 7 PM CET
  • January 27, 3 AM JST
  • January 27, 5 AM AEDT

The free-to-play title doesn't currently have a pre-load option on Steam, so I would expect some potential issues when the game launches, as there doesn't appear to be any way to do pre-authentication either. As such, I would caution some patience around launch, as depending on how the crowds react to the game being available, there may be some teething issues.  

We are just as curious about how Highguard will play out as everyone else, so make sure you stick with Shacknews, where we will have plenty of Highguard news and guides rolling out once the servers go live.
