There has been effectively zero online presence for Highguard since the night of The Game Awards on December 11. No tweets from the main account (with just 5,800 followers), no new videos or previews on its YouTube page (with just 1,300 subscribers). I would not normally make too much of a big deal about this, as it takes some time for promotional campaigns to spool up, but this is a game that announced it would be out on January 26. Of this year. As in, under three weeks from now.

The big question is whether Highguard is still coming out on that date. While I know that we’re just getting past the holidays, those haven’t been this entire stretch of time, plus you might want to make an exception when your game comes out in a month, release things that you prepared ahead of time, and such.

Everything about this game's announcement period has been strange.
