Overview
- Wildlight confirmed on X that 5v5 is “here to stay” after seeing a roughly even split between players in 3v3 and 5v5 during the test weekend.
- Community reaction was broadly celebratory, and multiple outlets report the larger teams better fill Highguard’s big maps and improve match pacing.
- The original 3v3 remains available, with the permanent 5v5 offered as a separate queue for players seeking a faster, more chaotic experience.
- Steam reviews have recovered toward Mixed, while PC concurrents remain far below the near‑100,000 launch peak, with recent daily highs around 8,000–10,000.
- The swift move follows early stability and control patches and a published 2026 roadmap, though reporters say the game’s long‑term prospects are still uncertain.
