NEW CHAMPION: FURIA

Sarah prayed to the Eternal Pyre for the strength to fight the Abyss and avenge her fallen sister. Her prayers were answered.

NEW EVENT: RISE OF FURIA

ESCAPE THE ABYSS

Relive the day the city of Seris was destroyed and thousands of souls were cast into the Abyss. You have been trapped in the vile recesses of this ancient hell… but there is still hope. Race against your doom and climb the Abyssal Spire. As you slay the wretched shadows atop, you’ll earn Abyssal Shards which can be exchanged for exclusive Rise of Furia event items. Face off in an epic Team Death Match at the top in front of the Abyssal Lord himself. Remember, child: Even in the blackest night, the Pyre will light your path.

Event Overview

Climb the Spire

Climb out of the Abyss, jumping from platforms, collecting Pyre Blessings, and racing up the Abyssal Spire with your team. Be careful along the way: one wrong step and you might fall into the Abyss itself. Once atop the Spire, face off against your shadows to determine which of you has earned the right to escape in front of the Lord of Abyss himself.

Collect Abyssal Shards

Climb the Spire and collect Abyssal Shards for every kill your team earns at the top, or purchase Bundles to speed up the process.


Unlock New Cosmetics!

There are over 15 new cosmetics this patch, including new Music Themes! Spend your Abyssal Shards and unlock exclusive content only available during the Rise of Furia event. To gain access to the event store, you must purchase one skin bundle.

Event Details

The Champions

The Climb
  • Players have increased movement speed and jump height to help them traverse the Abyssal Spire.
  • Players are unable to damage or impede their opponents’ progress during the climb.
  • The Abyss will slowly rise during the Climb, forcing players towards the top. Falling into the Abyss will reset you to the lowest current checkpoint.
  • Pyre’s Blessing are placed throughout the climb, providing ultimate charge to the team who can grab them first!
  • Destroying the Crystal near the top will unlock the Abyssal Spire’s Arena, bringing all players to the top of the Spire. The team that unlocks the Arena earns additional ultimate charge.

The Fight
  • The fight follows Team Deathmatch Rules - first team to 30 kills wins the match.

Take the class-based wizard shooter action of Paladins, riff on the battle royale modes whizzing all over games these days, and bish bash bosh you’ve got Realm Royale. Hi-Rez’s Paladins spin-off, which previously bore the remarkably cheeky name Paladins Battlegrounds, has now properly launched onto Steam Early Access, letting all play for free. Are you a bad enough wizard to murder like 99 other wizards? Throwing magical class abilities into the battle royale mix might make for interesting team-building in squads, so I’m curious about this one myself. (more…)

Realm Royale started development as “Paladins: Battlegrounds,” announced in January at the annual Hi-Rez Expo as a new mode for the hit hero shooter Paladins. After seeing positive feedback to the mode’s announcement, Hi-Rez Studios spun off Realm Royale as a standalone game with a larger scope.

Champions

Ash

Assert Dominance can be great at buying time for an objective fight, or until a healer can get to you, but fees lackluster in most situations. These changes are aimed at making her ultimate feel more impactful when used, even if it’s not the perfect situation. The Range increase on Slug Shot gives Ash a true long range option.

Assert Dominance


Increased Damage 350 ➡️ 600
Increased Max Travel Distance

Shoulder Bash

Reduced Cooldown 17s ➡️ 15s

Slug Shot

Increased Range Increase 50% ➡️ 100%


Buck

Concussion

Reduced Scaling 1.5|1.5s ➡️ 1|1s


Fernando

Safe Travels effectiveness was potent enough to be an ability itself. We have brought down the shield strength and duration to be more in line with other Front Line Cards.

Safe Travel

Reduced Shield Scaling 250|250 ➡️ 150|150
Reduced Shield Duration 5s ➡️ 3s

Last Stand

Reduced Health Threshold 50% ➡️  40%


Inara

In coordinated play, the Bonus Healing Received from Earthen Guard combined with her assortment of defensive tactics makes her incredibly hard to take down. We’ve reduced the innate effectiveness of the bonus healing so Inara is not as oppressive early on (before players can purchase higher levels of Cauterize).

Earthen Guard

Reduced Increased Healing 60% ➡️  40%

Stone Bulwark

Reduced Heal 30|30 ➡️ 25|25


Khan

After analyzing Khan’s release, we have made numerous changes to bring him more in line with other Front Lines.
Commander’s Grab acts as Khan’s only non-ultimate damaging ability, and his only movement ability. The increased damage will now make hitting this ability feel more rewarding for the opportunity cost of using it.
Khan aims to be in the midst of Battle - However, despite having a healing based ability, Khan’s self healing is either equal or only slightly above other Front Lines. We’ve increased the effectiveness of Battle Shout to encourage this play style.

Battle Shout

Increase Heal 800 ➡️ 1,000

Overpower

Increase Damage 500 ➡️ 600
Increase Charge Rate

Commander’s grab

Increase Damage 400 ➡️ 600

Vigorous Defense

Increase HPS Scaling 10|10 ➡️ 25|25

Hulking Strength

Increase Scaling 0.5|0.5 ➡️ 0.6|0.6

Close and Personal

Increase Damage Reduction Scaling 6%|6% ➡️ 8%|8%
Reduced Duration 3s ➡️ 2s


Kinessa

Sniper Mode

Increased zoom


Ruckus

Base Health

Reduced from 4500 ➡️ 4000

What's a Paladin?

It feels almost unfair to call free-to-play ‘hero shooter’ Paladins an Overwatch clone, but then I look at screenshots like the one above, and another one with a big n’ heavy character with a chain-hook attack and… yeah, it’s pretty clear that Paladins is riding on Blizzard’s coattails. But it’s also fun, good-looking, and free to jump into. It’s been a regular in Steam’s top ten most played games for some time, and has officially left early access as of today.

The free-to-play online FPS Paladins, which began open beta testing in 2016, will go into full release on May 8, developer Hi-Rez Studios announced today. The studio also released the mobile shooter Paladins Strike today for iOS and Android devices, which will enable players to unlock two free skins in Paladins. 

"We are so excited for the official release of Paladins," executive producer Chris Larson said. "We really want to thank all of our dedicated Beta players for the time and effort they have put into helping Paladins grow. This Launch Celebration is about our players—only with their feedback were we able to make Paladins the amazing game it is today, with drastically improved UI, console aiming, presentation, and gameplay." 

There were a few bumpy patches on the way to release: An update in early 2017 resulted in "pay to win" complaints, and then near the end of the year there was a similar eruption of anger over loot boxes. Despite all that, user reviews on Steam are "very positive" and more importantly, it remains well into the top 20 list, with a peak concurrent player count today of 25,000. 

Hi-Rez is also looking to expand Paladins into the sweet, lucrative Battle Royale genre: The studio announced a BR mode called Paladins: Battlegrounds in January, but decided shortly after to spin it off as an entirely separate game, Paladins Realm Royale, which is now in closed alpha testing. 

Anyone who played Paladins during the beta phase will also be given 200 Crystals, a premium currency used for purchasing cosmetics, for logging in between May 8-31. The beta will continue right up to the full launch, so you've still got most of a week to be eligible for the freebie.
