As the sun sets on Highguard, the game’s dedicated team at Wildlight Entertainment is giving fans a parting gift – a massive update packed with exciting new features. Despite the game’s impending shutdown on March 12, the developers are releasing one final patch, dubbed “The Farewell Tour,” which promises to breathe new life into the game for its loyal players. This update is a labor of love, and it’s clear that the team is passionate about giving fans the best possible experience, even in the game’s final days. The update includes account progression, a skill tree, a new weapon, and a new playable Warden, Koldo. With account progression, players can level up their accounts by earning XP, which can be used to unlock unique abilities via the skill tree. The skill tree is designed to let players build out their upgrades in four distinct playstyles: Raider, Harvester, Treasure Hunter, and Protector. Each playstyle offers a range of options, allowing players to mix and match abilities and buffs to create their perfect build. Koldo, the new playable Warden, is a fascinating addition to the game. This soul-trapped-in-armor character has a rich backstory and uses the power of his soul to protect his allies. His abilities, including a passive Guardian Angel and an ultimate Battle Cry, make him a valuable addition to any team. What’s remarkable about this update is that it wasn’t required – the team at Wildlight Entertainment chose to release it as a gift to their fans. According to creative director Jason McCord, the team wasn’t asked to finish the update, but they wanted to see it through and give their players one last big update. This dedication to the game and its community is a testament to the team’s passion and commitment. As Highguard comes to a close, this final update is a reminder of what could have been. The game’s rocky launch and subsequent shutdown are a shame, but the team’s efforts to make things right are commendable. For fans of the game, this update is a chance to experience Highguard in a new way, with fresh features and a new playable character. Even if the game is shutting down, the memories and experiences players have had will linger on. The Farewell Tour update is a fitting sendoff for Highguard, and it’s a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there’s always room for a little bit of joy and excitement. As the game’s final days tick away, players can enjoy the new content and reflect on the good times they’ve had with Highguard. The game may be ending, but its legacy will live on, and the team at Wildlight Entertainment can take pride in the fact that they’ve given their fans a lasting goodbye gift.
