Greetings Champions! Here's what happening in the Realm this week:

Approaching Valor's End
Last week, we unveiled our next major update releasing later this month, Valor's End! From quality-of-life improvements to major balance shifts, Khan and Nyx brought with them plenty of change to this dark yet fantastical version of the Realm! Instead of an Update Show, we opted for a shorter video format to highlight key parts of the patch. Check it out!



PTS: Please Test Stuff
We had a lovely time on PTS, with players digging deep into our larger-than-normal balance & discovering some fun issues and concerns. From immune but visible Seris, Saati generating far too much Ultimate, and Furia's range being a bit mid; there were tons of helpful catches!

We also are listening to feedback around some less-loved changes! Evie will not be coming to live with 2500+ health builds, and Imani deserves better than to be stuck in place. We'll share more adjustments from what we garnered in our full update notes near release, but until then review the PTS Notes!

Artful Fall
We've revealed yet another art theme for Paladins, one very in-tune with this season! Our artists have been enjoying their own theming this October, so let's share more of them!

Greetings Champions! Here's what happening in the Realm this week:

Showing up for Update
Let's get right to the chase: We haven't announced an Update Show! Last update, we did a more informal dev stream & got a lot of feedback around that format. This update, we'll also be doing something a bit different, this time opting for a non-live format. Keep your eyes peeled this week for reveals as we prepare for PTS!

Blood Moon Rises
In case you missed it, to celebrate the season Lillith is being given away for free this week! In addition, play 2 games during the event & receive a Flair and Style chests alongside the Autumn Maeve Avatar. There's never been a better time to spread Blood Hexes around to your teammates...

Art You Glad
Inktober is in full effect, and we have seen another wave of amazing fan creations!

Something wicked this way comes...
The team has been hard at work on our next update, and while we aren't quite ready to share details yet, here's a glimpse into where we are headed!



Staying in Touch
As we've been working towards evolving our community strategy over the course of the year, we've been looking for the best place to discuss with our players around feedback, bugs, and general topics. Recently, we've worked with our moderation team over on Discord to turn these goals into meaningful changes, so there's never been a better time to join our community & speak with others about Paladins. Feel free to join here!

Inktober Be Upon Ye
Our fan artists are always producing amazing work, but October marks the beginning of Inktober, an internet tradition that means we'll be seeing so many more spooky creations coming our way. In order to pay it back, we'll be featuring some of our favorites in TWitR throughout the month, starting today!

Dev Insights: Support Keywords
We've been intently listening to community discussion following the introduction of Support Keywords at the start of Season 6. In our recent blog, we share a bit of how they came to be, how we're addressing feedback, and the open-ended future of how we balance Supports with the communities' help!

Sorry for the Disturbance
Over the past weekend, we experienced severe server interruptions that affected all platforms. Our team & service partners worked diligently over the weekend to help resolve those issues and restore stability. To express our gratitude to players for sticking with us through this, we've activated 3x Champion XP and 4x Gold Earn Rate for the entire week!

That's all for this week, Champions, see you all in the Realm!

Greetings Champions, and surprise!

Starting today, we’re kicking off a week-long Event: Fall of Ascension Peak.Return to Ascension Peak as it is under siege once more, this time from a larger threat: Omen and the Abyssal Lords he serves are here to destroy Jenos once and for all! In the chaos, the Magistrate aims to finally capture Ascension Peak for themselves, unless the Resistance and Paladins are able to stop them. As the title alludes, all may not go their way. Let’s dig right into the content live in the Realm now!

LTM: Fall of Ascension Peak
Those familiar with Siege of Ascension Peak will recognize the general gameplay, but as a reminder:
  • Play Onslaught on the Ascension Peak map, featuring falling firebombs from ongoing artillery.
  • All Champions have 50% cooldown reduction, calling on their strongest selves and empowered by their sides. Speaking of sides…
Changes
  • Play as either the Abyss & Magistrate, working together to see Ascension Peak fall or as Paladins & Resistance, allied in defense of Jenos from Omen. Pick from a selection of 17 Champions on either side representing their in-universe factions.
  • Based on feedback from Siege of Ascension Peak, we’ve lowered the score limit from 400 to 250 to allow for quicker matches and more chances to play either side of this conflict.

Chronicles Series 1 Finale
As a part of this Event, we’ve released the final Chronicle of Series 1, detailing how this event came to past in the narrative & giving players a glimpse into how the Realm will change as a result of Omen’s arrival. We’ve been overjoyed with how players have received Chronicles & one of the largest pieces of feedback was wanting a way to experience some of these stories in game. If you want to see the story for yourself, read it here!

Core Mode Rotation
For those uninterested in the Event, we still have some changes headed to the Realm! Starting off, we’re rotating our Core modes once more, bringing back the much-requested Team Deathmatch and giving Payload some time back in the vault. This rotation will stay even after the event ends, so you'll have plenty of time to team up & slay out. As eagle eyed players are aware, we ask in our feedback forms about mode rotation every update, and wanted to share the results here:
Desert Omens Feedback Form
Which mode would you like to see rotated out next?
Which mode would you like to see rotated in next?

We’ve been watching sentiment on socials & every feedback form we’ve held to decide how best to continue to rotate modes & plan to experiment more to provide players the modes they love while keeping things fresh. Huge thanks to every player who responds to these!

Double the Fun for Twice the Time

From now until the Event’s end on September 21st, enjoy 2x Gold, 2x Account XP, 2x Champion XP, 2x Event Pass XP, EVERYTHING! A whole week to grind, whether it be in our redux LTM, the returning TDM, or casual Siege games. Play with friends to take advantage of our always-active Party Up Boost and get your Champions decked out in Golden skins!We hope all of you have fun with this Event, and we’re excited to continue finding ways to combine old and new as we strive to make Paladins the best it can be. We’ll get back to our ongoing work on the next major update, until next time!
