SMITE

Yesterday, Hi-Rez Studios announced that SMITE (a MOBA) is coming to the Nintendo Switch. It will be launched next year, but fans who want to get early access to the game can purchase the Founder’s Pack, now available on the Nintendo eShop. This will give them access to the closed beta on January 24th, but also various extras only available in this pack. Of course, the game will also be available for download for free at a later date (just like Paladins).

Here’s some details and screenshots for the game:

Paladins

Yesterday, Hi-Rez Studios made several announcements regarding Paladins:

the game will start offering cross-play with the Ver. 2.01 update, to be released sometime in January. You can check out more details about that on the official Hi-Rez Studios website! By the way, SMITE is also getting cross-play support, seemingly at launch too!
a new Champion was revealed: Imani, The Last Warder. She will be added in the Ver. 2.01 update we just mentioned. She will conclude the “Dragon’s Call” story-arc;

Imani is our most ambitious Champion yet. This powerful mage dual-wields the elements of fire and ice, casting complex spells with impactful, martial arts-inspired motions. She surfs through the air on ice, propelling herself with fire. When she uses her ultimate ability, Imani summons a massive player-controlled dragon, breathing frostfire down upon her foes.
