Highguard Could Be The Start of a Whole New Thing | Hands-On Preview

A look at this new free-to-play raid shooter.

Highguard is a first-person shooter that follows both the attacker-versus-defender structure of Rainbow Six Siege and lane-focused bomb-planting format of Valorant; but within the much larger objective-focused, base-destroying scope of the space battles of Star Wars Battlefront 2. And on top of that, the game features an upgradable armament system that combines how looting works in Apex Legends with the "shopping" mechanic of Call of Duty's Zombies mode, as well as hero-character archetypes seen in a ton of different shooters.

You have played or experienced pieces of Highguard in other games, but I feel very confident in saying that you have probably not played this exact chimera of pieces before.
