It’s been hard to find a show as good as Succession since it ended. Its unique blend of drama, comedy, and insightful look at society, combined with unforgettable characters, made it almost flawless. While shows like The Righteous Gemstones came close, they didn’t quite hit the mark. Even Jesse Armstrong, the creator of Succession, hasn’t been able to recreate that same brilliance with his new show, Mountainhead. But now, a new series might finally fill the void.

Following the positive response to our trailer at The Game Awards, we’re excited to finally share what we mean by a player-versus-player raid shooter,” said Chad Grenier, co-founder and game director at Wildlight Entertainment. “Highguard offers a unique gameplay loop. Each match builds as players strengthen their base, explore the world, fight each other, and launch coordinated raids and defenses until only one base remains.”

In Highguard, players participate in “Raids” where the goal is to get the Stormbreaker and destroy the enemy team’s base. Before each match, you select from different base types, and then venture out to find improved weapons, armor, and equipment. You earn Vesper – the game’s currency – by mining, defeating opponents, and other activities, which you can then trade to Flynn for valuable rewards.

The developers have big plans, according to their recently released roadmap. The game is currently launching with Episode 1. Next month, Episode 2 will begin rolling out, starting with a new playable character (Warden), a new map, a new mount, and a Ranked Mode. In March, they’ll add a new base and a tool for raids, giving players even more ways to strategize.
