Posted on May 31, 2022 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop
Another collaboration is happening in Paladins, as it’s been announced that RWBY will be appearing in the game. Characters will be showing up as Champion skins.
The announcement notes that the “partnership acknowledges what is now a long-lasting friendship between Hi-Rez and Rooster Teeth, as Paladins met gen:LOCK last year while SMITE x RWBY was Hi-Rez’s first-ever Crossover Battle Pass back in 2019.”
Paladins players will be able to play Team RWBY with Blake Belladonna as a Saati skin, Weiss Schnee as the fiery Furia, Yang Xiao Long Imani, and Ruby Rose for Vora, armed with her deadly scythe. On top of that, uncle Qrow will join the fun as a Corvus skin. Additionally, their archenemy Salem will try to take over the Realm as a skin for Seris, the oracle of the Abyss.
The RWBY skins will be part of the new Crossover Pass. Players can unlock Qrow and Salem in a chest as well as in direct purchase. Some characters are voiced by original actresses and the event will also feature a dozen cosmetic items referencing the RWBY universe.
Here’s a trailer announcing the RWBY news for Paladins:
Further information will be provided tomorrow, June 1. Fans can tune in to the news on the Paladins Twitch channel. The RWBY update will go out later in the month.
