Paladins: Champions of the Realm for PC, PS4 and XONE is a first person online shooter created for PC users. The game is free-to-play, but it contains a system of microtransactions. It was developed by Hi-Rez, a studio behind games such as Smite, Tribes: Ascend or Global Agenda.

Story

In Paladins: Champions of the Realm for PC, PS4 and XONE, the action takes place in a fantasy world that is far from what the players could see in other games so far. This fantasy world sustains advanced technology, including rifles and vehicles, but magic is the sole resource behind that. The story as such does not happen to be highlighted in the game. Instead, the gameplay is in the first place, concentrating on online battles between small groups of players.
