Hi-Rez studios announces free-to-play team-based shooter Paladins

SMITE‘s Hi-Rez Studios today announced Paladins, a free-to-play team-based shooter.

“We’ve managed to keep Paladins under wraps for over a year now, so the dev team is really  looking forward to receiving feedback from the hands-on demo at Gamescom,” said Todd Harris, COO at Hi-Rez Studios. “We’ve focused on making something we find fun and competitive, and soon players will help us craft how Paladins grows from here.”

Paladins will be on display at Gamescom this week.

Paladins has been a passion project of ours from the beginning,” commented Mick Larkins, senior producer on the title. “We’ve dedicated a separate team from SMITE to work on it, and while we are still early in development, we know we’re crafting something very special. Paladins is extremely quick, with a great deal of depth in how it blends action, tactics, and teamwork, and we’re excited for gamers to start discovering all it has to offer.”

Paladins heads to Windows PC, PS4 and Xbox One in 2016.
