前APEX核心人員開發的遊戲Highguard遠遠不如預期 Tencent Was Quietly Backing Highguard Studio, According to Report https://www.ign.com/articles/tencent-was-quietly-backing-highguard-studio- according-to-report Highguard, the free-to-play PvP "raid shooter" announced at The Game Awards last year and released to preemptive criticism and mockery only for most of its developers to be laid off just weeks after launch, was apparently financially backed by Tencent, according to a report. 據報道，去年在遊戲大獎上公佈的免費 PvP“團隊副本射擊遊戲”Highguard，在發布前 就遭到了批評和嘲笑，其大部分開發人員在上線幾週後就被解雇了，而Highguard顯然得 到了騰訊的資金支持。 This comes from Game File, which reports that the Chinese gaming mogul was the primary financial backer behind developer Wildlight Entertainment, an arrangement that was not publicly shared by either company. 根據Game File 報導，這位中國遊戲大亨是開發商 Wildlight Entertainment 的主要財 務支持者，但雙方公司都沒有公開透露這項安排。 Prior to this report, it was unclear who was funding Wildlight, despite Highguard seemingly being in development for a number of years prior to its announcement at The Game Awards in December. Its official LinkedIn page has long included the line that Wildlight is "a new, fully-funded entertainment studio." 在這份報告發布之前，儘管《Highguard》似乎在去年12月的遊戲大獎頒獎典禮上正式公 佈前就已經開發了數年，但Wildlight的資金來源仍然不明朗。其官方LinkedIn頁面長期 以來都包含這樣一句話：Wildlight是一家「資金雄厚的新興娛樂工作室」。 That grand announcement, its time and place instigated by The Game Awards host Geoff Keighley rather than the studio, sparked weeks of mockery online, with a number of content creators declaring the game dead before it had even released. Upon launch, Highguard netted nearly 100k Steam concurrents, but critic reviews (including ours) were just so-so and user scores were low. Just a few weeks later, developers from Wildlight revealed that most of them had been laid off. Since then, one developer who worked on the game has reflected that Highguard was "turned into a joke from minute one" due to false assumptions made from the TGA trailer, and a number of other high-profile developers have come to its defense. 那次由遊戲大獎主持人傑夫·基斯利（Geoff Keighley）而非工作室主動宣布的盛大發布 會，引發了數週的網絡嘲諷，許多內容創作者甚至在遊戲正式發售前就斷言它已經夭折 。 Highguard 發售時在Steam 平台同時線上人數接近 10 萬，但媒體評價（包括我們的 評價）平平，用戶評分也很低。僅僅幾週後，Wildlight 的開發者就透露，他們中的大多 數人已被解僱。此後，一位曾參與遊戲開發的開發者表示，Highguard “從一開始就成了 笑話”，這都是因為 TGA 預告片引發的錯誤假設，而其他一些知名開發者也紛紛站出來 為遊戲辯護。 It remains unclear how heavily reliant Wildlight was on Tencent, or whether a decision to pull funding was made at some point that led to the mass layoffs. Wildlight's future as a studio also remains unclear, with a studio statement saying that it would retain a "core group of developers" to keep Highguard going. However, the game's website went offline earlier today and has yet to be restored, leading some to speculate that the game or even the studio is about to fully shut down. 目前尚不清楚Wildlight對騰訊的依賴程度，也不清楚騰訊是否曾撤資導致大規模裁員。 Wildlight工作室的未來也充滿變數，工作室曾發表聲明稱將保留「核心開發團隊」以維 持《Highguard》的營運。然而，該遊戲的官方網站今天早些時候已下線，至今仍未恢復 ，這引發了一些猜測，認為該遊戲甚至工作室可能即將徹底關閉。 -- 今晚你選那一個姿勢?? ○ "○ ○" ○" (|\ (|\ )) )) ○╭○rz ○rz ○rz-st○ /`○rz /`○r27\" ○r27\" ￣′ ○=^ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 218.173.14.151 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://webptt.cc/bbs/C_Chat/M.1771379390.A.44B.html ※ 編輯: silentknight (218.173.14.151 臺灣), 02/18/2026 09:50:26
