Paladins® - HiRezRomanova

Champions of the Realm!

We love to see all of the incredible fan art tons of our community members create (especially with all of this extra free time this year), and we wanted to give you another chance at getting your art into the game! As we gear up for Hi-Rez Showcase, we wanted to open up submissions for you to enter your own fan art in hopes of your art pieces being turned into Avatars for everyone to earn for free during our first update of 2022.

Starting now, you can submit your fan art for our Evil Mojo team to review and select to be a part of our Paladins update that falls in line with Valentine’s Day! Submissions close on November 30th, 2021, so make sure to get your art in before the submission form closes! Bring out the big guns and show us what you’ve got! We simply can’t wait to see what you come up with!

The chosen submissions will receive our newly unveiled “Community Creator” spray and title as well as 10 codes for their in-game Avatar!

Make your submissions here, and become familiar with all the rules listed below.

Best of luck to all our community artists!

Absolution Update is now LIVE!

Paladins® - HiRezRomanova

Our final Champion release for 2021 is finally here:

Introducing, Azaan the Eternal!

Once the king of a long-forgotten kingdom, the Eternal has existed to see countless reigns end. Forged in the crucible of the Pyre’s flames as the embodiment of all that Persists, Azaan is tasked with maintaining the existence of a Realm kept free from Abyssal influence.

Few still alive have ever had cause to engage with the one of the oldest of the Pyre Lords, but those who have know that his purifying flames care not for friend or foe, only for the complete eradication of the Abyss. Events in the Realm have upset the balance, leading to the Abyss’ influence creeping ever closer, and so the Eternal descends from on high to deliver a final warning to the Realm: deal with the Abyss, or have it be dealt with, by any means deemed necessary.

In addition to Azaan, Paladins is welcoming our Dark Depths Event Pass featuring Tyra and Saati!

Venture many leagues under the waves with our latest Event Pass – Dark Depths! Instantly unlock the Azure Depths loading frame for purchasing, and unlock a total of 24 levels of rewards as you play!

Players can also purchase a Buy All option to get all content in the Dark Depths Event Pass instantly!
