A part of Paladins Season 5 content is now live in the PTS servers, but you can check out its patch notes as well, thanks to the data miners!

Paladins is probably one of the popular free-to-play games that followed the successful formula of Overwatch and reached high popularity among the fans of hero-based action games.

While the developers usually share the patch notes just a few hours before the launch of a new update, the Season 5 patch notes for Paladins are already available while we don't know when it comes to the primary servers.

The patch notes, collected by data miners, reveal the brand new Champion as well as the upcoming skins and balance changes.

Paladins Season 5 doesn't have an official release date, but it's somehow weird that a few hours after this leak, the official page of Paladins posted the patch notes on the website for Season 5, though the access to this is limited to those who have a certain password.

Paladins is now available for free on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
