Like I said, it was announced last month, closing out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/personas\/geoff-keighley\">Geoff Keighley<\/a>&#8216;s trailer-filled extravaganza (which did also feature some awards). Coming from several former <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/games\/titanfall\">Titanfall<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/games\/apex-legends\">Apex Legends<\/a> developers, Highguard is a PvP raid shooter which will see players &#8220;ride, fight, and raid as Wardens&#8221;. That is to say, &#8220;arcane gunslingers&#8221; who have been sent to fight for control of a mythical continent.<\/p>\n<p>It is set to release on 26th January, however <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/the-game-awards-big-reveal-this-year-was-for-a-shooter-from-the-creatives-behind-apex-legends-and-titanfall-and-it-looked-fine\">since its slightly underwhelming announcement trailer last month<\/a>, we have heard very little from the Highguard team. There has been no hype, no new character trailers, no playful social media posts to encourage engagement. Some worried the game wasn&#8217;t going to make its initial release date, however its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/highguard-shows-signs-of-life-less-than-one-week-away-from-launch\">Steam activity has picked up in recent days<\/a>, and now, we have its PS5 trophy list.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exophase.com\/game\/highguard-psn\/trophies\/\">Exophase<\/a> via <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/gematsu.com\/post\/3mcygsk54ec2s\">Gematsu<\/a>, Highguard will have 33 PS5 trophies in total. These include Plunderer, which is awarded when a player opens and acquires loot from at least 15 chests in a single match, and Animal Control for eliminating 20 enemy mounts.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Entertainment Official Highguard image showing a character riding a horse towards various fantasy structures\" data-autosize=\"crop_lossy\" data-lightbox src=\"http:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/highguard-headline.jpg\" height=\"1080\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1920\" previous-src=\"http:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/highguard-headline.jpg\"><figcaption><span>Image credit: <cite>Wildlight Entertainment<\/cite><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>So, without further ado, here are all the reported PS5 trophies for Highguard:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Pendragon: <\/strong>So&#8230; the legends are true.
