Paladins is official for Switch. A listing on the European eShop reveals the release, which is slated for June 12.

European Switch owners can pre-load Paladins – Founder's Pack right now for £24.99. The offer should be extended to North American users soon as well. A free-to-play version of Paladins will be offered later this year, but the Founder's Pack allows for early access, the ability to immediately unlock all Champions and their voice packs now and forever, and contains exclusive cosmetics.

Whoa! Out of nowhere!

/s

edit: 60fps AND crossplay??

 

[Bandage]

Probably was going to be a neat "Avaliable right after the Direct!" Kind of announcement but oh well.

 

[Deleted member 31092]

60 fps is good, crossplay even better.

 

[Mushlikeahusky]

If they drop this and fortnite on the same day the servers are gonna implode

 

[Deleted member 21693]

CROSSPLAY yeah

But also


OVERCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKED 2!!!!!

 

[Ex-Psych]

Nintendo: eh they already know, might as well announce it now.

 

[Nathan.exe]

Alpharad will be happy :^)

 

[NeoRaider]

Have fun Switch owners. Game is super fun.

 

[Deleted member 2791]

60fps makes it an impressive port.

 

[srtrestre]

Pretends to be shocked gif

 

[Frostman]

60fps? Wow.

Wonder how it looks. DF get on it.

 

[The Cellar Letters]

Ahhh that's definitely smart. Put the Founder's pack up but delay the free-to-play version until later.
Make dat money.

Nice !

 

[feroca]

Great game, though I already own the Founder's Pack on Xbox One. Hopefully it is cross-play between Xbox and Switch so that the boyfriend can jump-in.

 

[Mathias Lesauvage]

I really hope it has Gyro controls. I don't want to have to deal with Steam Big Picture for that...

 

[BY2K]

Can a mod change the title to something like: "Paladins confirmed for Switch, Founder's Pack release June 12th, F2P later, 60FPS/Crossplay"?

 

[unicornKnight]

12/6? Why not announce it right at the Direct "available right now" ?

 

[Mr. Poolman]

Crossplay? First you had my curiosity, now...

I'm already a founder on the PC version Can I import stuff?

 

[Neoxon]

Damn, they actually got the game running at 60fps on the Switch? Impressive work, Hi-Rez.

 

[Amnixia]

Did not see this comming, was expecting a "AVAILABLE NOW" kinda thing during E3.
Never played this though, how good is it? Last thing I remember hearing was that some P2W stuff got added a few months ago?

 

[Rndom Grenadez]

Toight!

 

[cw_sasuke]

Yeah def. giving it a shot.
Looks quite impressive.

This was expected. PC version runs well even on a potato.
Also i think that both XB1X and PS4 Pro are native 4K.

 

[Anon27]

June 12? That means it suppose to be a shadow drop. I'm sad that it got leak. Hopefully there is gyro control

 

[Kouriozan]

Yep, 60 FPS is very good news!

 

[Twenty7kvn]

Delete post!

Maybe it was planned but since it leaked early it doesn't matter anymore.

Nintendo saving that for fortnite.

 

[bdwnfn99]

Definitely grabbing this, excited to try it out! Also there's no way Blizzard couldn't get Overwatch running on Switch if they'd actually give it a try. Excited to see Hi-Rez do this and hopefully force the hand of other devs to bring similar games to the platform. These are fun times as a Switch owner.

 

[Skittzo]

I wonder if it'll even be in the E3 Direct now. Maybe as part of a trailer/montage?

 

[JakeNoseIt]

Might go for this on Switch, itching for stuff to play with my friends

 

[NotLiquid]

If Fortnite launches that same day, the eShop is going to crash and burn hard

 

[Lucifonz]

60fps and cross-play along with released on the day of Nintendo's E3 showing make for an impressive announcement. Gives me hope for a potential Fortnite BR available straight away kind of announcement.

Maybe it was planned but since it leaked early it doesn't matter anymore.

Think they probably going to do it with Fortnite at the least

Not impressive, but some other ports are unimpressive. The developers of this port obviously tried to make it good.

Guess ill wait for the f2p.

 

[Silky]

Assuming it's console Crossplay and not PC/Switch, seeing as PC/Xbox Crossplay for Paladins isn't a thing yet.

Either way, this is fucking HUGE for Hi-Rez.

 

[ghoulie]

Boooo f2p has to wait

 

[Arkai]

60fps and cross play makes this a sweet deal. Sounds like a really solid port, so hope it holds up.

 

[Astral Lovelace]

Is this that game that Alpharad keeps playing randomly?

 

[Deleted member 9584]

I'm gonna keep my eyes on this. I'm definitely looking for more online experiences for Switch.

 

[Jahranimo]

That's dope, but where's my motion controls?

Yep

 

[DeuceGamer]

Interesting and happy to hear it seems like a competent port. A lot of titles coming out soon so not sure if I'll give it a shot at launch or wait to the F2P version.

 

[Dorfdad]

So wait if we already own a founder pack on another co sole diner get this free on seitch June 12th? Or do we need to buy again or wait for F2P??

 

[Medalion]

Wow it's like we had NO IDEA this was coming... like NONE
Looking forward to its development

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Now is it crossplay with PC only or with other Consoles and PC?

 

[DarkFlame92]

Paladins is a solid game,60 fps and crossplay is pretty great too

 

[Gobias-Ind]

Bummed at the lack of gyro mention, but pleasantly surprised and impressed by the 60fps mention.

 

[Deleted member 21693]

A free demo weekend would be nice. Price sounds fine but I want to try it out first.
