Update 3.0 (Sovereign's Rise) :: Vainglory discussion on VaingloryFire

It has finally arrived. Vainglory 5v5 is the last puzzle piece in the vision of what Vainglory was always meant to be — and we’re so excited to NOW put this category-defining experience in your hands. It’s a milestone four years in the making, and we’re so grateful you’ve taken this journey with us. See you on the Rise!

Vainglory 5v5

Vainglory 5v5 is finally here! This new map and mode includes a ton of additions and alterations to the classic Vainglory experience. Beware of the Vain's new defenses, including Halcyon Missiles and Rupture Cascades. Six new items come to the mode, including shiny new teleport boots which can beam you to allied locations on the map. New jungle monsters grant orbs of power that are dropped on death and can be picked up by another hero.

Apart from the added content, Vainglory 5v5 offers a new strategic experience for players. With 3 lanes, 10 heroes, an expansive jungle, more objectives and completely free camera controls, there’s many more opportunities to outthink your opponents to claim victory. Employ new team-wide strategies to catch your enemies by surprise or put them in a difficult situation.

Vainglory 5v5 also includes optimizations for various heroes, including movement speed boosts, extra durability and extended ultimate ranges. The new mode will feature a completely new score by renowned video game composer Joris de Man, best known for his work on Killzone franchise and Horizon Zero Dawn.
