- New Update - Fall Mastery - 13 October 2022
Mastery System Update Each Class now has a progress track based on experience gained while playing matches with them. Along the way you'll earn prizes, with the very end being a mastery skin, to show off how awesome you are.

Hello Realm Royale friends! Below are the hotfix notes along with some thoughts to go along with it! Goblin Decreased Movement speed by 12% Decreased Health by 15% Dev note: Players were communicating that Goblins were too much of a chore to hunt down. We lowered the speed and health to make it a bit easier for players to get their hands on their loot.

- Smite developers Hi-Rez Studios are offering permanent remote work - 14 April 2021
When game developers started packing up last spring to work from home due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I suspect we all knew it was going to be a bumpy ride. Sure enough, there have been game delays galore over the past year as many studios found the adjustment to be a challenge. On the bright side, some seem to have really taken to it. Hi-Rez Studios, the folks behind Smite and Paladins , say "the pandemic has taught us new ways to work that we believe are superior to our previous way of operation." They'll be encouraging 80% of their 435 employees to work remotely if they choose to. Read more
- Have You Played… Realm Royale? - 12 October 2020
Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Let’s travel back in time. To the distant year 2018. We’re at peak Fortnite . Ninja urges a new year’s crowd to floss with him as rain beats down on his sodden bandana. Water seeps into his suit, into every fabric of his being. The flash of his smile is the only source of light, but it’s a bit too bright. He begins flossing. The sound of awkward shuffling blurs with the music. My eyes shatter into a thousand pieces. During this was also the peak of game studios being like “Battle Royale equals money”, so along came Hi-Rez with Realm Royale . As you’d expect, players drop onto a map, there’s a ‘deadly fog’, yada yada. But you know what? This actually has a few fun twists on an overused formula, so much so, I consider it some…

- Paladins, Smite, Realm Royale all finally getting cross-play support on PS4 - 11 September 2019
Hi-Rez Studios is finally bringing Paladins, Smite, and Realm Royale players on PlayStation 4 into the cross-play fold, and those on Sony's machine will be able to team up with - or battle against - those on Switch, Xbox One, and PC starting today. Hero shooter Paladins, its battle royale spin-off Realm Royale, and MOBA Smite all received support for cross-platform play between Switch, Xbox One, and PC earlier this year. Around the same time, Hi-Rez Studios' CEO, Stewart Chisam, fired shots at Sony on Twitter, writing that "It's time to stop playing favourites and tear down the crossplay/progression wall for everyone." Chisam told Sony it had versions of its games "ready to go when you are." Now, some seven months later, the studio has announced that, following work with Sony, cross-play support is now live for Paladins on PS4, with updates for Smite due on 17th September and Realm Roya…
