Developed by Smite creators Hi-Rez Studios, Paladins promises a “blend of fast paced shooter action, a diverse cast of champions and deep character customization”, with players able to customise their heroes via collectible cards. According to Hi-Rez Studios COO and co-founder Todd Harris, Paladins is now free-to-play and will continue to be so.

It’s been a few months since we took a look at Paladins but it was shaping up rather nicely. With the game now in open beta from today, it’s worth checking out. Paladins has been built from the ground up to support esports and features a robust spectator client. It does, however, have the installed base of Steam behind it, as well as the fact that it’s free to play. Not as tight as other games you may have watched over, but wonderfully playable. Hi-Rez Studios recently launched its first mobile game Jetpack Fighter, a swipe-to-attack high speed platformer with gear progression and is now developing Paladins, a fantasy FPS with progression using collectible cards. Paladins features a collectible card system that allows players to create a customised loadout of abilities and modifiers.
