Highguard Episode 2: New Guardians, Colossal Wolves, and Skybound Skirmishes

This update introduces a revitalized collection of content for Highguard, introducing several new features and gameplay enhancements designed to invigorate the gaming experience. Wildlight Entertainment has launched Episode 2 of the first season and is offering players an array of additions that transform the game’s strategic landscape.

The standout feature is the reimagined guardian, Ekon, who aims to redefine in-game tactics. His passive ability highlights injured opponents as he moves through the battlefield, ensuring he keeps track of them until they are fully subdued or their condition improves. In addition, he can summon a spectral wolf to pursue a target, with his Dread passive enhancing the pursuit. His ultimate ability intensifies this effect across the entire game area, boosting movement speed as it does so. Uniquely, Ekon transitions directly into a wild form during combat, allowing him to operate and utilize abilities even while mounted.

The update also introduces a new mount in the form of a colossal wolf, complementing the revamped character dynamic. Meanwhile, the new map, known as Skydrift, elevates the battleground by shifting the focus from terrestrial combat to aerial exploration. Connecting islands via large chains, this precarious terrain is set to diversify the environments available to players.

Ranked competition makes its debut in Episode 2 within the 3v3 mode, which has long been the game’s intended competitive format. Although the 5v5 mode has garnered significant attention, enthusiasts are hopeful it will soon see a similar ranked setup.

• Introduction of a modified guardian with enhanced tracking and pursuit abilities
• Deployment of a new colossal wolf mount
• Launch of the aerial map Skydrift with interconnecting islands
• Debut of ranked play in the 3v3 mode
• Release of a new story cinematic to expand the game’s narrative

The update is now live, inviting players to explore the enriched content and experience the evolution of Highguard.
