As Highguard claws its way up to "Mixed" Steam reviews, devs add 5v5 mode in response to player feedback about empty maps just 5 days after launch: "You asked, we listened"

Fairy-like, Scarlet's Fables skin in Highguard has her clothed in leaves.

Highguard's unfortunate reveal at The Game Awards immediately made it a punching bag in the eyes of a big segment of the gaming community, and that negative sentiment carried into launch. But the Steam review score is starting to trend in a positive direction, and amid that shift developer Wildlight is addressing one of the biggest points of criticism with a new 5v5 raid mode.

"You asked, we listened," Wildlight says in a Twitter post offering a brief trailer of the 5v5 mode. In a longer Steam blog breaking down the update, the devs make clear that this is a limited-time option and not a permanent change to the game. "For the weekend, we are experimenting with a 5v5 Raid Mode," they explain. "This is a separate playlist and not meant to replace 3’s."
