As a quick overview, Paladins is a multiplayer shooting video game that consists of 24 playable Champions; each of which can be altered with different offensive and defensive capabilities. Players are then free to battle across a plethora of unique game modes, all free of charge.
Not only did Hi-Rez Studios make this much-awaited announcement, they also revealed a Paladins tournament.
