Wildlight Bets on 5v5 Weekend to Rescue Highguard’s Fading Player Base
Wildlight Entertainment has launched a weekend experimental 5v5 mode for Highguard to address plummeting player numbers; joining the base 3v3, the new mode supports two teams of five, increases lives to 10, and slightly longer respawns; devs warn this won't fix performance and that optimisations are ongoing. The shift aims to recapture launch-day interest after PC concurrent players dropped from around 97k to under 10k within five days.
