Hi-Rez Studios, the driving force behind the award-winning SMITE, today announced the immediate release of the Closed Beta client for the upcoming online first-person shooter, Paladins. The game promises endless hours of entertainment in a competitive atmosphere that blends together the thrill of the first-person genre with unique collectible-card-based mechanics supporting the progression system.
[quote cite=”Hi-Rez Studios COO Todd Harris”]“We’ve been giving gamers hands-on play time with Paladins at select events around the world since we unveiled it in August, and the response so far has been incredible. We’re excited to get the game out into the community so we can fine-tune it further into a truly spectacular multiplayer experience.”
