The Highguard whiplash continues as yet another massive patch is announced: a new shapeshifting hero, sky palace map, wolf mounts, and 3v3-only ranked mode are coming tomorrow

Key art for Highguard showing Kai riding a bear, Atticus with the Shieldbreaker, and Scarlet, crouched, aiming down sights.

The times, they are a-changin' for Highguard once more, as studio Wildlight has announced yet another jam-packed update that'll add a new hero, new map, new mount, and ranked mode – plus some key design changes – tomorrow, February 6.

Per the official patch notes, Highguard's Episode 2 update, as they're calling it, will add the game's first new Warden: the shapeshifting monster-slayer Ekon, who has the ability to turn into a vicious direwolf that can track down mounted foes using his Dread ability, which reveals the heartbeats of wounded enemies. Speaking of wolves, all players can pick up the objectively better wolf mount for free as soon as the update goes live. Woof.
