Highguard removes Titanfall and Apex Legends mention from Steam page

Kotaku reports that on January 26, Highguard removed references to Titanfall and Apex Legends from the game’s Steam store page, a change made on the shooter’s PC and console launch day. SteamDB documented that the original Steam description — "From the creators of Apex Legends and Titanfall, comes Highguard: a PvP raid shooter where players will ride, fight, and raid as Wardens, arcane gunslingers sent to fight for control of a mythical continent" — was edited to remove all mention of Titanfall and its spin-off, leaving only: "Highguard is a PvP raid shooter where players will ride, fight, and raid as Wardens, arcane gunslingers sent to fight for control of a mythical continent." The game was first presented in December at the Game Awards, where Geoff Keighley said, "Our final world premiere comes from 61 members of the team that built Apex Legends and Titanfall.

Four years ago, the principals founded a new, independent studio with the hopes of pushing the shooter genre forward…" An Xbox Wire post on launch day still mentions Titanfall and Apex Legends, while Highguard’s Xbox and PlayStation storefront pages do not. The outlet said it has contacted Highguard PR and the developers for comment.

The reason for the Steam copy change is unclear.
