Paladins launches Battlegrounds mode

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has enjoyed huge success since it was introduced into early access for PC last year, breaking a series of Steam concurrent player records and over 30 million copies sold. Considering the massive popularity of the game, it’s not surprising that other studios “followed” the battle royale format, Hi-Rez studios also announced their participation in this battle by bringing in the battle royale mode. battle royale level in Paladins: Champions of the Realm Last year.

Paladins: Champions of the Realm which is a game with a similar gameplay to Blizzard’s Overwatch. And recently the developers added a battle royale mode and named it Paladins: Battlegrounds, which is quite similar to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds’ battle royale. However, the key difference of the game is that the generals will shoot guns, which means that more than 100 participating characters will have special skills to help them “flirt” jubilantly in each match.

While Paladins is excitedly focusing on the battle royale mode, some people are excited about how this will affect Overwatch. Overall, Paladins and Overwatch have always had similarities, but there are some who think that Paladins is a clone of Overwatch. If Paladins, a game from a small studio, can add this hot battle royale mode, there’s no reason why Overwatch can’t do the same.

Through the Battlegrounds mode, Hi-Rez can attract more Paladins: Champion of the Realm players this year, but if they want to keep them, the development team will have to improve the Paladins experience even more with dealing with issues like the “pay-to-win” controversy that is affecting the game lately.

Unless Overwatch can launch its own Battle royale mode before Paladins launches Battlegrounds, the new mode will be a big addition to the company’s character-based shooter. In the meantime, fans can look for more information about the new Battlegrounds mode later this year.
