Realm Royale Undergoes Limited Alpha + New Information about the Forging System

You may remember Paladins: Realm Royale that briefly debuted earlier this year as 'Battlegrounds'. In the latest round of closed alpha testing that took place for a very limited amount of time this weekend, the battle royale mode has been renamed "Realm Royale". While we don't have a ton of details about a lot of the mechanics, the team did provide some new information about the Forging System.

Players will need to collect gear and abilities that, if not wanted, can be broken down into "shards". Once 100 shards are collected, players can head to forges marked on the map where the process can begin. The caveat is, of course, the danger of other players "forge camping" and the fact that the process takes two minutes to complete.

The article also features a number of screenshots, including one that shows the Realm Royale map with several different biomes and natural barriers.
