Big brother SMITE isn’t getting all the attention at this year’s Hi-Rez Expo 2018 – Paladins is definitely seeing some love too. The team-based shooter got quite the reveal of its own during the keynote address this morning: a new Battle Royale game mode! Paladins: Battlegrounds will consist of 100 players broken into teams trying to survive while exploring and looting on a massive open map that slowly constricts with a deadly fog. The 20-minute matches play out on a map 300 times the square footage of a typical Paladins siege map. An early alpha version is playable here at HRX, so keep your eyes out for our hands-on!
Devs also revealed other tidbits, including the game’s 35th champion, Moji (a magical Flank that gets to ride into battle on a summoned two-headed dragon); a new Team Deathmatch mode with a new map (Trade District); and new battle cat mounts. The first battle cat, the Primal Prowler, will be given away exclusively to Twitch Prime members. Members will also get a Twitch Prime King Bomb King skin. Check out the trailers for all the reveals below!
