Hi-Rez Studios introduces Paladins: Battlegrounds Mode

[Paladins is a 5v5 team shooter F2P game that is available on Steam and it is notoriously accused as a copycat of Overwatch. But recently, Hi-Rez studios has decided to expand the Paladins Universe to a whole new genre. They’ll be adding Battle Royale to Paladinsand it called as Paladins: Battlegrounds. Yes, they just got their name to the most popular game on Steam – Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds.

So what’s with this game mode from Paladins? According to them, it’s the first-ever hero shooter battle royale. Basically, you’ll be able to use heroes from paladins in where 100 players will drop in a big map and then players will have to knock and kill their opponents with their weapons.

I’m not surprised that Hi-Rez Studios has joined the battle royale because of the popularity of this genre. The most popular battle royale game is PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and it has already beaten the concurrent players of DOTA 2 on Steam.

I feel like this game will be PUBG meets Overwatch.
