The year has started and many games have announcements for the whole year. Read on to learn more about what’s waiting for Paladins in 2022.
With over 50 million players since its beta in 2015, Hi-Rez’s free-to-play fantasy shooter Paladins hit an amazing milestone in 2021, releasing the game’s 50th character – just one of six new Champions throughout the year. In 2022, players can also expect even more new Champions, along with new maps and reworked ones.
New Champion VII this Month
Out this January, VII – pronounced [seven] – is the Executioner and Hand of the Outer Tribunal.
All about ambushing his opponents, he can grapple onto walls and use the terrain to his advantage to get the drop on enemies. VII’s weapon mode can be changed on the fly, swapping between automatic fire, burst fire, and unloading the entire clip.
One Brand-new Map, Two Reworked Maps
After two years working with the support and suggestions of the Paladins community, a highly requested all-new map is coming soon in Season 5.
In 2021, several fan-favorite Paladins maps were visually reworked. This year, Warder’s Gate and Trade District will undergo enhancements. The rework will improve materials, textures, and landscapes, while expanding the surrounding environment.
Siege: Beyond
Throughout 2022, Siege: Beyond will provide players with multiple augmentations to Siege, Paladins’ most popular and most competitive mode. Sure to change things up, the first iteration will feature a brand-new item shop along with other major changes.
Siege players who want to stick to their guns need not worry, as Siege: Core will remain available in parallel.
Rambo x Paladins
Even better: Rambo will be available for free for all Prime Gaming members, as soon as it launches in February 2022.
Rewards, Passes, and Bundles Revealed
The most engaged players can’t wait for Paladins’ Season 5. Now they get to know the new Ranked Reward that lies at the end of the road: Will.0 Willo. Only those who win 100 ranked matches during the upcoming season will boast this prestigious skin.
The most valuable yearly bundle in Paladins, the Season Pass, makes its return! Featuring the new Jurassic Ying skin and Dino Dash Mount, the 2022 Season Pass will also unlock each Champion in 2022 and special cosmetics for them, 1500 crystals, and more – all at a compelling price.
The Abyss Hunter Academy Event Pass releases in January. Whether they are crushing classes or destroying demons, Class President Rei and Schoolyard Maeve are ready to teach foes a lesson to the energizing tunes of the music from hit YouTube artist AmaLee.
