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. Auto Sniper The Common version of this item has been removed from your first pull out of a chest Increased Damage from 560/640/720/800 ➡️ 580/660/740/820 Decreased Refire rate from 1.2 ➡️ 1.1 Dev Note: Players were getting frustrated with getting the auto sniper out of their first chest, making it a bit weird to engage with on drop. Abilities Lightfoot Potion Decreased Pre fire from .2s ➡️ .1s Increased Effect radius from 27.5 ➡️ 40 Changed Cooldown from 22/21/20/19 ➡️ 23//22/20/18 Flask of Healing Decreased Prefire from .2s ➡️ .1s Increased Effect radius from 27.5 ➡️ 40 Dev Note: We wanted to make the ability a bit easier to hit with, and this should hopefully help with the no-reg issues these abilities have. Make sure you double tap the ability if you want it to self-activate! Decoy Normalized Movespeed to 25% Concussion Grenade Increased cooldown from 13/12/11/9 ➡️ 13.5/12.5/11.5/9.5 Dev note: The Tooltip for Concussion grenade will not be reflected properly in-game. Grounding Shock Increased damage across rarities by 25 Decreased cooldown across all rarities by 1s. Dev note: The Tooltip for Grounding shock will not be reflected properly in-game. Enrage Bug Fix: Legendary Enrage corrected to be 25% (was 30% in-game) Decreased Enrage Life steal 30 ➡️ 25% Dev Note: Warriors are getting a slight nerf to Enrage, but we want to keep them feeling powerful. Heroic Leap Damage now starts at 150 and scales to 300 at Legendary. Decreased Leap damage radius from 20 ➡️ 16.666 Throwing Axe Decreased hitbox slightly. Fireball Increased Hitbox to match the size of the fireball Decreased Prefire rate from .2s ➡️ .1s Fire Staff Increased projectile speed by 50 Decreased radius by 50% Ice Staff Increased ammo from 6 ➡️ 7 Reduced Slow from 20% ➡️ 17% Crossbow Reload speed increased 1.2➡️1.3 Crossbow ammo increased 10➡️12 LMG Improved accuracy of this Weapon Decreased damage by 30 Revolver Bug fix: Accuracy normalized across all rarities New Update - Realm Royale Reforged!Aug 22, 2022 - Community AnnouncementsHello everyone and welcome (bok) to Realm Royale Reforged! Over the past few months a small internal team of passionate developers here at Hi-Rez took on the task to reforge the Realm, bringing back mechanics from Realm Royale’s earlier stages that players loved, while building upon the improvements and features that players are familiar with today. A lot has changed and we’re so excited for you to dive back in. Let’s get to it! Armor is back! The Runes system has been removed and replaced with Armor. There are four different pieces of Armor that can be looted, equipped, and upgraded throughout the course of a game, each granting a different buff/bonus. Helm: Increased Cooldown reduction Breastplate: Additional Armor P5/Health P5 Gauntlets: Increased Reload and Weapon Swap speed Greaves: Increased Movement speed and Mount speed Class locking is back! Mages are flinging fireballs, and Warriors are getting Enraged! Class weapons and abilities are now locked behind Classes but….You now have more flexibility in how you play your class! Class abilities are now separated into two types - Movement abilities and Combat abilities. Movement Abilities These never change, and you can not drop these from your inventory. Only upgrading or finding better rarities will increase the power of these abilities. Warrior Heroic Leap Leap an incredible height and distance Hunter NEW - Grapple Hook Throw a grapple hook to sling yourself through the air Mage Soar Fly through the air Assassin Blink Teleport forward a short distance Combat Abilities These are the Combat Abilities you know and love… plus a few new ones! The twist is that you can now use Combat Abilities in either slot! Want to use Charge and Enrage? GO AHEAD! Dodge Roll and Proximity Trap? Get at it! Developer’s Note The equip process has gone through a revision (for players that played Realm Royale in its earlier stages, you will instantly recognize this system), for current players, you might find your muscle memory getting in the way but hopefully, you find the transition smooth enough. When your ability slots are full and you want to change to a new ability on the ground, you must first “stage” the ability and then hit the corresponding ability button for the slot itself. Class Weapons Class Weapons can only be wielded by their respective Class. Starting out, each Class will have two Weapons in Realm Royale Reforged. We plan to build out and add more Class Weapons in the future so stay tuned! Warrior Throwing Axe Long Sword Hunter Longbow Crossbow Mage NEW - Fire Staff NEW - Ice Staff Assassin Sniper Rifle Heirloom Rifle Developer’s note The Warrior currently wields the Long Sword and Throwing Axe, and while the Long Sword is a ton of fun, we recognize that it’s not really competitively viable in its current state. We have some fun Warrior weapons ideas in the works, so keep an eye out. Universal Abilities and Weapons are still in Realm Royale Reforged. Anyone can use these, and these Abilities fall und...Smite developers Hi-Rez Studios are offering permanent remote workApr 14, 2021 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunWhen 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?Oct 11, 2020 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunHave 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 of the most fun I’ve ever had with a Battle Royale game.

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 Royale in "early October". To celebrate, Hi-Rez has release this thing: Read more OB22 PTS Forge TestingSep 5, 2019 - Community AnnouncementsOB22 is arriving in early October, ushering in a new Battle Pass and many other exciting features!

OB22 is arriving in early October, ushering in a new Battle Pass and many other exciting features! Ahead of the update’s release, we want to announce we’ll be introducing a big community request: A third ability slot! Abilities will now be categorized into three groups: Offensive, Support, and Movement. September 6-8: Players will be able to selectively Forge Offensive and Support Abilities at the Forge. Since each Class only has one Offensive and two Support Abilities, when Forging either of these slots, the pool of Abilities will include neutral and other Class’ Abilities. Movement Ability Forging will still only provide Movement Abilities for your Class. September 13-15: Players will be able to selectively Forge Class- and Neutral-Offhand Abilities at the Forge. This means you will be able to choose to craft one of your three Class-Offhand Abilities (similar to the existing Forge Ability feature), or craft one ability that is not tied to a specific Class (Barricade, Turret, etc). In this context, “offhand” refers to Abilities that are not Movement Abilities. Please join us on the Steam PTS to help test this new system for OB22’s release in early October!

Realm Royale Beginner’s Guide and FAQJun 20, 2019 - Community Announcementshttps://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32920656/83e456efb3fc8ffc651a649f14fcf7b266882c35.png Welcome to Realm Royale, a class-based battle royale set in a fantasy universe. In Realm Royale, you’ll utilize both weapons and abilities to conquer the Realm and be the last player standing. When you dive into the Realm, you’ll be faced with many new and exciting gameplay elements that make the world unique. Let’s discuss some of the key factors to getting started in Realm Royale. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32920656/4663291a8f6231f594eaf7d358bfdf7060377dc2.pngRealm Royale is a class-based battle royale When you start a match, you will select one of four Classes: Warrior, Hunter, Assassin, and Mage. Each Class has its own unique advantages with weapons and abilities you’ll find throughout the Realm. While players can use any of the items they find as they explore the world, each Class will have weapons and abilities that help support each Class’ role within the game. A Warrior, for instance, specializes in charging into battle wielding Axes and Hammers, where a Hunter may use its dodging prowess and mastery of the bow to gain the upper hand in combat. Mastering each class and its advantageous abilities are key to claiming the Crown Royale. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32920656/fffb3cbeaae7f2d1b2d3c41519f5560e2ef110f1.jpgYou’ll use weapons and abilities in combat Realm Royale offers many unique combat interactions through its inclusion of weapons and abilities. Each player may hold two weapons, ranging from standard weaponry like Assault Rifles and Shotguns, to exotic weapons like Throwing Axes and Longbows. While any class can fare well with the standard weaponry, each class will have certain advantages with specific weapons and abilities. For example, an Assassin will gain Cooldown bonuses to abilities like Hidden, which serves as a means to remain stealthy and gain an advantageous angle on your opponents. There are two types of abilities: basic abilities and movement abilities. Basic abilities will offer active offensive and defensive actions to take in combat to help defeat your foes. Movement abilities will allow you to travel, escape, or surprise your enemies. Each Class begins with a movement ability, but you are free to use whichever ability you find while looting! https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32920656/bd979c0d3753fab6f60c2b1d194681623234be5e.jpgIn Realm Royale, you may be down, but you’re not out When your health reaches zero, you’re not out of the game, at least not if you know how to escape your foes as a Chicken! If you survive long enough as a Chicken, you’ll be back in the action and ready to seek revenge. Learning to maneuver as a chicken will keep you in the game longer! https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32920656/849c14cc1c424d2c9099c1b862f3ca32a81d466c.pngMount up ...Triple Next Frontier Battle Pass XPJun 14, 2019 - Community Announcementshttps://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32920656/ade23870305a3d371f7cde8404d189c98262ecdd.png The Next Frontier Battle Pass is coming to its end soon.

Realm Royale Has Lost 93% of its Player Base After Peaking at 105k Concurrent Players 2 Months Ago on SteamAug 15, 2018 - GitHypWhen Realm Royale debuted on Steam two months ago with a peak of only 4.6k concurrent players, it seemed like the latest game from the developer of the hero shooter, Paladins, wasn’t going to pay off for the studio. But that same week, positive word of mouth and praise from some of Twitch’s biggest streamers like Ninja quickly spiked Realm Royale’s player base to an impressive peak of 105k concurrent players. At the time, we thought Realm Royale could be PUBG's first serious competition on Steam with no other recent battle royale game coming close to 100k players. Unfortunately, Realm Royale also hasn’t come close to topping its six-figure peak since its first week on Steam. Just like all other battle royale games before it, week after week, Realm Royale’s player base has continued to decline. And over this past weekend, the game was only able to pull in a peak of 7k concurrent players -- a loss of 93% when compared to its first week. One of the reasons for Realm Royale’s successful early access debut was the positive feedback from players for being one of Hi-Rez’s most polished games. Players who liked Fortnite’s aesthetics but don’t enjoy the building mechanics were happy to have another option in the BR genre that looked and played similar to Epic's breakout hit. But a quick look at the now-Mixed reviews on Steam give more insight into why the game has failed to catch on like Fortnite and overtake PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds. Half of the reviews have turned negative from players citing issues with the balancing of the game’s weapons and hitscan. Most streamers on Twitch have also lost interest in playing and gone back to Fortnite. Viewer counts for Realm Royale have mirrored the player base. Originally having 50-150k concurrent viewers back in June, Realm Royale now peaks at only few thousand concurrent viewers most days on Twitch. The only thing left keeping streamer’s interest seems to be Skillshot and KEEMSTAR’s $100k weekly tournament, which is now the only time popular streamers like Ninja, Summit1g, and others still play Realm Royale live on their Twitch channels. But Realm Royale is far from dead. Similar to H1Z1 after its massive decline on Steam, Hi-Rez is planning on bringing the game to whole new audience on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. And unlike other abandoned BR games like Radical Heights and The Culling 2, Hi-Rez still has Paladins in Steam’s top 25 most played games, generating revenue to help fund the continued improvement of Realm Royale’s alpha before it officially launches on Steam.Realm Royale is Looking Like PUBG’s First Serious Competition on Steam After Breaking 100k Concurrent Players Its First WeekendJun 10, 2018 - GitHypJust days after the battle royale parody, Totally Accurate Battlegrounds, became the second hottest BR game on Steam behind PUBG, Hi-Rez Studios' Realm Royale has seen an even bigger explosion in its player base. Released the same day as TABG, but with far less players, Realm Royale didn't have the best first day. And it seemed as if the new free-to-play early access game from the developer of Paladins might not catch on with player counts comparable to other unsuccessful attempts at the genre. In its first day, Realm Royale only saw a peak of 4.6k concurrent players. Its second day? Much better with a peak of 11.5k players... yet, still lower than the debuts of Radical Heights and Darwin Project. But in its third day, Realm Royale saw its player base easily surpass TABG to become the new hottest BR game on Steam with an impressive peak of 27k players. [caption id="attachment_351807" align="aligncenter" width="770"] Realm Royale's Peak Concurrent Players on Steam via GitHyp[/caption] That spike in players on Day 3 can be attributed to Realm Royale getting a little help from some of Twitch's biggest streamers like Ninja, Summit1g, Lirik, and TimTheTatman. Each of whom have all been enjoying their time playing, and at times even hosting Hi-Rez's official stream of the new hero-based BR standalone that has seen its viewers spike as high as #1 on Twitch, Now reaching as high as #4 on Steam's most played games over the weekend, Realm Royale’s growth is beginning to mirror that of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Fortnite. With a peak of 100k concurrent players in its first five days, Realm Royale could very well be PUBG’s first serious competition on Steam if its growth continues. With the developers finding a middle ground between PUBG and Fornite, Realm Royale seems to be capturing a whole new BR demographic: Gamers who have played Fortnite, but who have expressed disinterest in the colorful game’s unique base/cover-building mechanics. By allowing players to experience a similar-looking fun BR game with class-based powers instead of base-building, Realm Royale is on track to be putting up numbers much closer to PUBG very soon if it can keep streamers' and players' interest.
