Wildlight Entertainment, the developer of the recently launched video game "Highguard," laid off multiple staff members less than a month after the game's release, according to Variety. The news, reported on February 11, 2026, signals potential challenges for the company following the debut of its first game.
The layoffs at Wildlight Entertainment were announced shortly after "Highguard" launched. While the exact number of employees affected was not specified in the Variety report, the decision was described as "incredibly difficult."
Meanwhile, other significant events are unfolding. Time reported that a potential shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) due to a funding deadline could lead to airport delays. The acting head of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Ha Nguyen McNeill, warned that a protracted DHS shutdown would impact air travel, with TSA officers remaining on the job without pay. "A lack of funding and predictability of resourcing will pose significant challenges to our ability to deliver transportation security with the level of excellence we expect and Americans deserve," McNeill stated, according to Time.
The impact of artificial intelligence on the job market is also a growing concern. Vox reported that AI's threat to white-collar jobs is becoming more real, suggesting that workers are becoming increasingly replaceable.
