Paladins Update 2.65 Patch Notes | Paladins February 23 Patch Notes:
NEW CHAMPION: NYX, QUEEN OF THE ABYSS
LORE
In the far past, Nyx was once a Pyre Lord, working alongside Azaan and others in the seemingly eternal fight against the chaotic Abyss. Over time, she found herself disillusioned with the ways of the Pyre and their rigid controlling dogmas – so content to throw away countless lives in their endless wars. She would show the Pyre the power of freedom, true freedom.
Approached by the one who would eventually be known as Seris, they devised a plan for Nyx to begin her great betrayal. Nyx left the Pyre behind and traveled through one of Seris’ portals into a Lord’s fortress. Once there Nyx slew and subdued all who stood in her way in a violent bloodbath. Even the residing Lord was no match for her fury, their name lost to time – cementing Nyx as an Abyssal Lord. Her time in the Abyss has changed her physically, but she remains determined to bring a new age of chaos and freedom to the Realm. With her growing army behind her, she offers power to those who will accept it: a united front through strength and the chaos of free will – a force strong enough to overwhelm the Pyre wholly.

GENERAL UPDATES
UI OVERHAUL
- With this UI overhaul, the goal was to make your inventory easier to view and equip between the Profile and the Store. All game accessories are now split: what you own is found in your profile, while stuff you do not own can be found in the store. The Player Profile has also been cleaned up with less info hidden behind a popup and by reorganizing how the tabs are organized (like now you will find match history as the first tab in your Profile>Player).
- We also updated the Landing page of the Store. Now when you open the Store under the Daily Deal, a mixture of items will appear to help promote more items to the players. Our art team makes a lot of cool things that have always been hard to find unless you know where to find them and this should help surface content.
- We also removed the Splash Art for skins to help with visual clarity of the game. This change makes it easier to identify which skin you’re picking in the Match Lobby, as well as what champions you are going against while in the loading screen. Unifying the look of these to appear more consistent to the in-game presentation will make the game easier to approach. We are looking at ways to incorporate the Splash Arts into the game in an alternative way.
BOUNTY STORE
The Bounty Store & Marketplace are closing as a part of Season 6. Bounty Skins you own will be kept, and any leftover Bounty Coin & duplicate skins will be rewarded as we transition. More info on specifics coming soon!
