Hi-Rez, the studio behind SMITE, has done a lot of expanding over the last year. In addition to continuing work on existing IPs and releasing a new mobile game, the Hi-Rez team also launched a small, closed beta for its upcoming team shooter, Paladins.
In this new free-to-play game, magic and technology come together in a whimsical setting. Players can choose from a variety of champions, each one of which comes equipped with one unique weapon, a few abilities, a mount, a loosely defined role, and their own unique progression path. Players use the game's card system to tweak and customize that character's play style. By collecting cards of five different rarities and building decks, players can play the same characters in multiple ways.
Lord Gaben won’t always empty your wallet, as these best free games on Steam that won't cost you anything can attest to.
BY LEANNE WARNER: Halloween is fast approaching and with the festivities comes spooky aesthetics for all. Like most multiplayer games right now, Paladins: Champions of the Realm is ready with different skins to customise just about all 42 characters and counting. Recently the Little Box of Horrors chest made a return to the game featuring 7 Halloween skins that we’re going to rank from most to least spooky with 5 categories and scores that mean absolutely nothing because skins are subjective.
Hi-Rez Studios announced today that PlayStation 4 crossplay compatibility will be implemented in Paladins: Champions of the Realm, SMITE Battleground of the Gods and Realm Royale as part of each games’ next major update.
