2018 is off to a start

Hi-Rez Studios announced that its team based shooter,Paladins, will be getting a new “battle royale” mode calledPaladins: Battlegrounds. Lack of originality aside, this new 100 man free-for-all will be the first “battle royale” to feature hero powers, which could make for an interesting twist on the sub-genre.

As with everything else in the game, this mode will be a free addition that is supported by microtransactions. If you actually digPaladinsand have wanted to check outPUBGorFortnite, now you have the perfect opportunity to jump back in.
