While Paladins players just got the Eternal Pyre content update earlier this week, Hi-Rez Studios has announced the Paladins new champion incoming in Season 4 Calamity! Yagorath The Destroyer is coming and we have the details straight from the Hi-Rez digital event!
Yagorath and Season 4 will launch on February 3, 2021! Head on below for the complete details.
In addition to the Paladins new champion reveal, we also have the Calamity patch notes before the update is rolled out! Head on below for Yagorath’s skills, the other champion changes and more.
NEW CHAMPION: YAGORATH, THE DEVOURER
Your joys and hopes. Your fears and doubts. All your petty conflicts. Utterly devoid of meaning. She is Yagorath, the Devourer. She is what it is to consume – absolutely. Everything that is not already her is assimilated, spreading her being across the universe in a never-ending hunger. Momentarily weakened by the futile actions of a broken goddess, she now emerges to bring an end to what was started – the only end that could possibly be.
