Realm Royale

Heroic Leap Games have introduced cross-progression in their latest update to Realm Royale, the battle royale offshoot of Paladins, and it covers Steam, Discord and Xbox One, so PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch aren't part of the deal.

Heroic Leap Games will host Realm Royale's open beta tests on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One starting on 22 January 2019. The contents will be the same as in the closed beta with some minor updates to general stability and performance.

Heroic Leaps, the studio carved out of Hi-Rez Studios to handle development of Realm Royale, have announced that their game is starting a closed beta on consoles and buying the Founder's Pack on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One grants you access.

In its current state, surviving to see the winter will be a gleaming success for Realm Royale. Once a refreshing take on the genre, the game has been reduced to a shell of what it used to be and a reminder of what it could've become.

Hi-Rez CEO Erez Goren, usually known as HiRezErez, recently jumped into a streamer's Twitch chat to apparently provide first hand info on how Realm Royale might progress in the future - but ended up telling the streamer to stop playing.

Having begun its career under the name Paladins: Battlegrounds, Realm Royale has had quite the start to its career when it launched in Steam's Early Access. However, it seems that things are not as rosy in Hi-Rez as they were at launch.

Hi-Rez Studios, the guys that brought us Smite, Paladins and the latest battle royale themed offshoot thereof, Realm Royale, have decided to split into three internal studios so as to allow for proper focus on each of the company's games.

Hi-Rez Studios have announced that Realm Royale's beta for PlayStation 4 will start during the week starting 30 July 2018, but they failed to provide an exact starting date. Interested players are prompted to sign up and wait. Fair enough.

Hi-Rez Studios have announced that the ongoing weekend will have a 50 per cent experience boost for Realm Royale Battle Pass holders in order to celebrate the launch of the feature. Oddly enough, they announced it one day after launch.

Realm Royale is celebrating its three million players milestone while Hi-Rez Studios are looking to promote the game further. They have recently announced the cosmetic-filled Alpha pack as well as two new classes coming next month.
