<p>The hugely popular, first-person hero shooter <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/paladins_-_founders_pack"><strong>Paladins</strong></a> is now available to download for free on Nintendo Switch.</p>
<p>Until now, Paladins has only been available on the console through purchasing the Founder’s Pack, a digital bundle which gives players early access to the game, immediately unlocking all Champions and their voice packs, and even rewards you with some exclusive cosmetics. The game already has a free-to-play system in place, with purchases only being available for cosmetic additions, but this new release gets rid of the need to buy your way in to start playing.</p>

<p>Alongside today’s free-to-play transition, Paladins has released its newest Champion: The deadly ninja Koga. Koga wields both dual SMGs and claws, climbing behind enemy lines before reigning destruction. Koga is the first champion with no cooldowns on his abilities; instead, he spends energy to use abilities whenever he sees an opportunity to strike.</p>
<p>We’ll soon be hosting a livestream to celebrate the occasion, too, giving you the chance to take on our <em>lovely </em>video master Alex Olney – you might even be able to get your hands on some fantastic prizes in the process. More details can be found in the video below.</p>

<p>If you haven’t yet jumped into the fun, this would be an ideal time to see what Paladins is all about for yourself. We really enjoyed the game in <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/switch-eshop/paladins_-_founders_pack">our review</a>, noting the £25 Founder’s Pack charge as one of the relatively few drawbacks surrounding the game’s Switch release.</p>
