When I played my first Highguard game last week, my literal first thought was: oh, there needs to be more players on this map. The 3v3 raid mode was fun enough, but the map is more than big enough to support, and even benefit from, 4v4, 5v5, or even 6v6 matches. Others felt the same, and so Wildlight very quickly added what was described at the time as a "limited-time" 5v5 mode, and now, the studio says that mode will be permanent.
Over on Twitter, Wildlight says there were about the same amount of people playing 5v5 as the original 3v3 over the weekend, which apparently was all they needed to see.
