The MOBA space is about to get shaken to its very core as AAA developer Epic Games announce the 2016 release of the highly anticipated action MOBA game, Paragon. Looking to compete with hugely popular MOBA games such as Riot Games' League of Legends and Hi-Rez Studios' SMITE, the developers of the critically acclaimed and awesomely balanced Unreal Tournament hope to bring their expertise to an all-new genre with the release of Paragon on PlayStation 4 and PC sometime in 2016.

Epic Games' first foray into the MOBA space promises to deliver an immersive and explosive action-orientated experience with direct third-person control, all new strategic options and opportunities thanks to careful level design and of course, the ability to play an exciting new MOBA game on the console platform, PlayStation 4. Players will have the opportunity to explore the game via Early Access sometime in Spring 2016 before an Open Beta in Summer 2016, although Early Access will be reserved for those that purchase access, exact details on Founder's Packs and other potential options have yet to be announced.

As with every time from Epic Games, skill matters. Your aim, movement, abilities and attacks are all controlled directly by you as you engage in epic competitive combat in a third-person perspective unlike any other MOBA experience you've had to date.

Paragon will feature a diverse list of Heroes that players can choose, each with their own unique skills and abilities. Carefully choose your team, complement each others skills and abilities with attacks that work well together and launch devastating team attacks on your enemies.

Paragon will utilize a unique card-based system that will allow players to unlock and earn cards through gameplay and other exciting options. This allows players to construct their own custom deck of cards and abilities, creating unique matches each and every time you step into the endless possibilities of the arena.
