Paragon’s The New Dawn update makes everything faster and reworks its card system

Epic’s multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) Paragon has just introduced a new update, The New Dawn. The patch increases attack speed and character movement for all heroes, resulting in a dramatic pick-up in the pace of games.

Paragon is still in open beta on PlayStation 4 and PC, and it has been available in some sort of early access form since March 2016. It’s common for MOBAs to have extended testing periods, which enables developers to introduce big updates like this to address issues with gameplay. Even in beta, Paragon has attracted almost 1 million players. But this doesn’t put Epic’s game at the heights of hits like League of Legends and Dota 2, which are at the top of the $19.8 billion MOBA market.
