Hi-Rez Studios Pairs Paladins With Uproar: Players Can Win Prizes By Playing
Paladins playerbase. Uproar gives players points for completing daily quests, which are then be used to win raffle prizes. So, if I play Skye today I'll earn 50 points, which I can save and put towards a $10 PayPal gift card, a SteelSeries headset, or Riot Points.
VentureBeat snagged a small interview about the integration:
“Hi-Rez is a community-focused organization. They really care about their customers and product, which makes them the perfect fit for Uproar,” said chief operating officer Todd Harris in an email interview. “We have also had some fun playing the game! We are excited to work with the studio and community.”
Pretty interesting stuff. Uproar is still in Beta but it has also partnered with Smite, and Halo 5, with more games to follow.
Would you be more likely to play a game if you could win prizes? I'm not sure.
Also in Paladins news, the game just patched. Patch 42 introduces Torvald the "Runic Sage" along with a whole bunch of fixes and quality of life improvements, which you can see in full through the patch overview video below.
