Season 5: Schism is finally here, including our newest Flank Champion:



Since the very beginning, the Realm has been in peril. Be it calamitous threats rivaling the Scourges of old, or the unbridled ambitions of evil men, fate has always conspired against Realmkind.

It was in defiance of this injustice that the Outer Tribunal was formed. But for true justice to prevail, the order would need more than pious Judges. They’d need an Executioner. Someone unburdened by the trappings of mercy who would ensure that judgements cast were judgements kept.

VII is one whose past is chronicled upon the gravestones of the wicked. He is the grim reaper; a collector of tithes made in guilty blood. Like a phantom, he undertakes missions that would break most men, employing ruthless force and deadly precision. But then again, who’s to say he is even a man?



In addition to VII, Paladins is welcoming our Abyss Hunter Academy Event Pass featuring Maeve and Rei!





Become top of the class with our latest Event Pass – Abyss Hunter Academy! Instantly unlock the Schoolyard Maeve skin 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 Abyss Hunter Academy Event Pass instantly!

Champions!

The team at Evil Mojo thanks you all for your feedback from our Public Test Servers on the upcoming Siege: Beyond mode! From all of the feedback and the team wanting to shape this as best for the players as possible, we are going to be delaying the release of Siege: Beyond.

The team is hard at work iterating on and making adjustments to this mode for release in the first hotfix for our Season 5: Schism update no later than February 16th. We would like to encourage you to keep submitting feedback when this hotfix goes live through the specific channel dedicated to this mode in our Official Discord.

This mode will be shaped by Community feedback and will constantly change throughout the year to try new ideas as seen fit from this feedback. We hope to continue to build the ultimate Siege mode with this for you in 2022!

Welcome back Champions!

This past weekend we served up some 2X Champion XP to give you all a start at getting your VII to level 50 and snagging his Golden skin!

This week may be a little more quiet but we still are keepin’ the ball rolling.

Champions!

Over the past few months, we’ve received a number of concerns from content creators around live streaming pre-recorded content (VODs) on streaming platforms. We’ve had several discussions around the topic, and are now taking steps internally to ramp up our efforts to stop supporting anything that violates our standards. One of the steps that we are ready to communicate with you all today is that we have reviewed and adjusted our Partner Program Guidelines.

Effective immediately, you are expected to accurately label your content to the best of your ability. When choosing a category or tag, please choose whichever best describes your content. Deliberate or extensive misuse in labeling of live content, re-runs, titles, tags, games/categories, or other metadata is prohibited and can result in removal from the partner program or in withdrawing the ability to continue using Hi-Rez Materials in live streams.

The above has also been added to our policy.

Combatting toxicity and fraudulent behavior is a top priority for our team, and this is just one of several steps already in motion to ensure we continue to build long-lasting, inclusive and transparent communities around our games. We’ll have more to share on these efforts in the future, so be sure to keep an eye on our official social media channels!
Until then, we’ll see you in the Realm.

It’s Monday again in the Realm!

As we prepare for our Season 5 update to go live next week, we got a few things in store for you this week so stay tuned!

Dark Depths Last Chance

• This weekend we’re offering 3X Event Pass XP so that you can get your final rewards from the Event Pass track! And if you haven’t gotten it yet, now’s a great time with all the bonus XP!
