Aside from new patches going live today, the console player base for Paladins has something else to look forward to in the near future. According to the console community specialist for Paladins, HiRezJuJu, the developer has brought someone else in to help make the aim assist on some of the more difficult champions, like Ma’damba, a bit smoother.
In recent Paladins news, Hi-Rez Studio recently announced Paladins: Battleground, a battle royale game mode that’s set to be released sometime before April. You can catch footage of this upcoming game mode here.
