Hi-Rez Studios has announced the upcoming closure of two of its games, Divine Knockout and Realm Royale Reforged, which will be taken offline in February 2025. The pending shutdowns come less than a month after the studio laid off an unspecified number of employees, saying at the time that the cuts were necessary "to ensure Hi-Rez's long-term success."

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. We also made it so that all your previous progress with these classes was transferred over to the new track, and once you play through a match with each of them, you'll be given the prizes you would have earned had you started from Level 0.
This mid to long range weapon is a charged throw which does more damage based on the time charged and the distance traveled

Hello Realm Royale friends!
Below are the hotfix notes along with some thoughts to go along with it!
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.
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.
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!
Dev note: The Tooltip for Concussion grenade will not be reflected properly in-game.
Dev note: The Tooltip for Grounding shock will not be reflected properly in-game.
Dev Note: Warriors are getting a slight nerf to Enrage, but we want to keep them feeling powerful.

Hello 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!
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
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.
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.
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 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!
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 under “Combat Abilities.”
Class Chests are a new type of Chest found throughout the Realm that can be looted for Class specific Weapons and Abilities, as well as Armor. In terms of Loot rarity found in these Chests, most of the time they’ll drop Rare loot, but there’s a small chance to find Epic gear in these Chests.
These Chests are available to loot as soon as you drop into Realm Royale Reforged, allowing players to immediately start leaning into what’s unique to their Class and gameplay style.
We’ve made some changes to how Circle Zones work to help bring back the feeling of “Battle” that comes with the Battle Royale genre.
There will now be a Circle Zone designated as soon as you load into a game of Realm Royale Reforged. Having a smaller portion of the map to play with from the beginning will result in less downtime at the beginning of a match and will bring on those fun and tense moments that players love more quickly.
Developer’s note
The new circle zone sizes will be more noticeable if the Point of Interest for the final circle is closer to the edge. This is calculated before the game starts. If the Point of Interest starts in the center, the red zone outline will be barely visible on the map at the start.
Initially, our only Normal Matchmaking Queues will be Solos and Trios, and Duos and Squads will be unavailable at launch.
While we understand the frustration in losing what could be your favorite game mode (Squads or Duos), we believe this direction is healthiest for the game and it comes with these added benefits for players:
This Bundle will be granted to everyone with an existing Realm Royale account that has played prior to the Realm Royale Reforged Update.
Contains
This Bundle will be granted to players that log in during Realm Royale Reforged first Update. Keep an eye on our social media channels for details on when these bundles will be sent out!

Price - 1200 Crowns

This marks the beginning of the journey, and we’re just getting started. We can’t wait to reforge Realm Royale to new heights together with this amazing community.
Thank you, and see you in the Realm.

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.

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 of the most fun I’ve ever had with a Battle Royale game.

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 Royale in "early October". To celebrate, Hi-Rez has release this thing:
OB22 is arriving in early October, ushering in a new Battle Pass and many other exciting features! Ahead of the update’s release, we wanted to announce the introduction of a third ability slot! Abilities will now be categorized into three groups: Offensive, Support, and Movement.

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! Following feedback, we will work alongside the community to figure out which system works best for players. For instructions on downloading the Steam PTS, see the diagram below.

Ever wanted to fight chickens but were afraid that the long arm of the law would ruin your fun? Realm Royale has found a solution with the OB21: Chicken Attack! update! Attack your friends as chickens in public matches, or take advantage of the new custom match feature. Custom matches allow players to host private matches and test their mettle against friends! Among a number of other quality of life improvements, this update also features polish to some known issues. The OB21 update is scheduled to arrive in early August!
With the OB21 update, we wanted to make some changes to some long-standing overperformers across the board, leading to nerfs to the Throwing Axe, Barricade, and the Ghost Walk / Ice Block combo. The introduction of Chicken Combat warranted a full pass of chicken-related Runes to ensure that these Talents contribute to the fun and allow players to take advantage of the new and improved comeback mechanic. Finally, we have nerfed the Frost and Fire elements after consistent overperformance from these elements compared to Lightning.

Happy Birthday to Realm Royale! It’s time to celebrate… And you’re getting the presents!
It’s been one year since Realm Royale entered Alpha on Steam, instantly winning over millions of players with its unique mix of fantasy and battle royale. But the game was far from done, with major systemic issues that led many players to leave the Realm, awaiting a more polished version of the Realm Royale experience.
Over the past year, the team has been working tirelessly to improve both the quality and the fun of Realm Royale, bringing it to its best state ever. With each successive update, the team continues to build upon some of the best aspects of Realm Royale, introducing new, fun ways to play the game.
Throughout Realm Royale’s development, the most important element that has made the game the great experience it is today is our community. We are so happy that the community has stuck with us through this time, and invite those who may not have played in a while back to experience Realm Royale and see how far the game has come!
To celebrate all that our players do for the game, we are giving away the Cuddles Chicken skin and 200 Crowns to all players who login now through July 19th! The Cuddles Chicken Skin is sure to spread the love within the Realm -- just as our players have spread their love in Realm Royale.
Log in today and join in on the fun!
