Edit: We've extended our dev cycle for the Future's End Update to ensure it is as polished as possible on release, and fix as many outstanding bugs as we can. Because of this, PTS has been pushed back, and is expected to release in a few weeks.

With the help of Jenos and Imani, Valera and the Paladins have tracked the Magistrate to ancient ruins. Join the fray and battle within the shadows of Shattered Desert, a brand new Siege map. Attempt to control mysterious tears in reality for your faction and earn Chrono-Shards to unlock content in the End Times game mode and event.

We’re improving quality throughout Season 2 with The Hunt: an initiative focused on process and quality of life improvements, bug fixes, and polish. Along with extended PTS, we’ve also expanded our programming team and devoted 20-40% of each development cycle to polish.

Cross-play and cross-progression have arrived! Champions on numerous platforms across the globe will now be able to group up and play like never before.
