Kasumi is out today in Paladins along with an EDM collaboration and the latest Event Pass.

The latest Paladins champion was just added today as part of a new game update: Kasumi and her torture doll. This haunting champion holds many unpleasant surprises for her foes.

According to Hi-Rez Studios, she can manifest as a ghostly apparition right behind those who tread on her Spirit Lures and turn her victim into a bomb before they explode with pain.

Kasumi was revealed in a trailer last month.

EDM Collaboration

Paladins also started its latest musical collaboration with two high-quality skins. Eliminate Androxus and PEEKABOO Moji pay an outstanding tribute to both EDM artists and their visual themes. Both skins and their respective music packs are now out for purchase.

New Event Pass

What’s scarier than Kasumi? Possibly the new Event Pass: Dread Omens starts today with a total of twenty-four sinister rewards for players to obtain. The dark witch Soulweaver Lian is unlocked instantly upon purchasing the Event Pass: Dread Omens. Players can later get her alter ego, Death Mage Lian, upon reaching level 16 just by playing Paladins.
