Released today, the gen:LOCK Update is the biggest Paladins update yet,, bringing characters from the Rooster Teeth animated series to life in the game’s first-ever crossover.

The gen:LOCK Crossover Pass unlocks five Champion skins showcasing the stars of the series: Chase, Valentina, Cammie, Yaz, and Kazu. Each comes with their own new Voice Pack.

Players progress through the gen:LOCK Crossover Pass simply by playing Paladins. Chase counts among the free rewards, while Cammie is unlocked instantly upon purchase of the Pass.

Even better: all of Hi-Rez games are about to get the spotlight with this year’s Steam Publisher weekend. With this timely event, players can get a jump on the gen:LOCK Crossover Pass with a Publisher Weekend Bundle given for free to all players logging into Paladins through Steam between tomorrow July 22, and July 25.

New Champion: Rei

Paladins’ 50th Champion Rei is making her debut just as the game reaches the 50 million players mark. Could the hand of the Pyre Lords be at play?

Rei is a peppy bunny-eared Support who has learned how to unleash magical energy from her bare hands. But where her true talents lie is in rescuing a single ally in peril.

When Rei left the Burrows, her quest led her to befriend the Scion of House Aico, Lian. Striving to harness arcane forces, Rei quickly became the chief Scholar of the noble house. Today, her tale has just begun.

Bounty Store returns

The first iteration of this rotational in-game shop using free currency was met with community excitement last year. Evil Mojo soon decided to work on a more refined version – and today the Bounty Store is back with an all-new look, improvements, and new features.

The Bounty Store is an in-game shop allowing players to trade Bounty Coins for rotating skins available in limited quantities – three skins are now simultaneously on sale, up from one.

As before, Daily Quests reward Bounty Coins, and now there are more ways to earn them:

In the Event Passes and their quests, the Trials of the Realm
Through Twitch integration – Watching Paladins on approved streaming channels grants Bounty Coins
Through a new feature – Players can choose to watch in-menu ads to earn Bounty Coins and other rewards. Already implemented in SMITE, this feature has proved popular with the community.

Also new, current Event or Crossover Pass holders will have access to a bonus Bounty Store skin for the duration of the Pass.

Evoplay, the celebrated game development studio, is showcasing an Ancient Greek myth in its newest release, Three Trojan Horses, where heroes and warriors clash on the reels for fame and prizes.

Three magnificent horses protect the walls of Troy in this title, each possessing its unique ability – Extra Spins, Extra Coins, and Extra Gift. The boosters become active when colored Scatter symbols appear in the main game, initiating free spins with extra strength.

Blue Scatters provide immediate cash rewards up to 10x, red ones bring additional golden Scatter symbols onto the reels, while green symbols can appear granting one extra free spin.

At the beginning of the feature, there are seven free spins, and the bonus round can be played with one, two, or all three boosters activated, leading to seven potential variations. When all three boosters are working, their abilities merge, enhancing the likelihood of legendary victories.

Getting three or more golden Scatter symbols in any position on the reels during the main game or Free Spins triggers a Scatter Jackpot. The greater the number of Scatters, the larger the reward, as 12 or more provide 1,000 times the wager.

The mythical Odysseus, the strategist extraordinaire, serves as the Wild symbol in Three Trojan Horses, appearing on reels 2 to 5 in both the primary game and Free Spins, transforming each spin into an opportunity to secure a monumental prize.

Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Packed with engaging features, boosters and a rewarding Scatter Jackpot, Three Trojan Horses is a great addition to our growing portfolio of games that captivate players with their diverse range of mechanics, features, and themes.”
